Hi I understand, and agree that it makes sense for systemd. networkd will still fail, at bit later. With this change, libsystemd-network might handle systems without machine-id file -- as long as the user cares and sets an alternative DUID via sd_dhcp6_client_set_duid(). That is interesting for NetworkManager. Thomas
