Description Giacomo Comes 2018-03-21 18:43:50 UTC 
Recent update of systemd added user/group systemd-network, however the OS cannot see such user/group on a system where NIS is enabled because the user/group entry created by /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers in /etc/passwd and /etc/gorup are inserted after the nis entry +::::::/+::: which is supposed to be the last. 
Because the OS cannot see the user systemd-network, the service systemd-tmpfiles-setup fails to start.
