16 The systemd default config is OK; if I'm not mistaken, Allan manually
17 enabled both NM and dhcpcd (and, at the time, wicd and dhcpcd). There
18 is no (reasonable) way for systemd to know that this is broken; if you
19 enable both apache2 and lighttpd, without using socket activation, the
20 one that starts second will fail since the first one will grab port
21 80. Again, nothing that systemd (nor OpenRC, nor any other init
22 system) can do about it.
