This might break code that runs from udev rules that + tries to talk to the network. Doing that is generally a bad idea and + unsafe due to a variety of reasons. It's also racy as device + management would race against network configuration. It is + recommended to rework such rules to use the SYSTEMD_WANTS property on + the relevant devices to pull in a proper systemd service (which can + be sandboxed differently and ordered correctly after the network + having come up). If that's not possible consider reverting this + sandboxing feature locally by removing the RestrictAddressFamilies= + setting from the systemd-udevd.service unit file, or adding AF_INET + and AF_INET6 to it. + CHANGES WITH 231: * In service units the various ExecXYZ= settings have been extended
