Except that sometimes, instead of blocking, you get a connection refused.
For instance, as a concrete example, a friend's mini will fail to start
a certain job unless you have autologin on. If autologin is off, launchd
tries to launch the job, which has a UserName key, before NetInfo is properly
up, and FAILS. The job gets cancelled because it can't be started, because
the user doesn't exist yet.
(I assume it's a race condition.)
