Well, if the service that listens on 1234 wasn't ready... then your service would block. How does this result in your service seeing "sorry, no such service?

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.) -s _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
