Hi,

this seems to be a feature. Seems you were able to resolve this issue?
Anything you think that should be done here?

Network Manager also has a similar wait job. timeout there is 30
seconds. connman just seem to have a higher default timeout in code
(120 seconds).

You could customize the job with --timeout=30 or we could use that as
the default in the package if we feel there is strong reason to
believe that majority of debian users will want the shorter timeout.

Let me know if you are happy with the ability to tweak by yourself...

Thanks,

 - Alexander

Hi Alexander,

thanks for responding. The problem is twofold. One problem is, that connman is buggy with libgnutls30 >= 3.5.3-2. Because of this bug a global, default timeout is triggered, located in Debian's /etc/systemd/system.conf as "DefaultTimeoutStartSec=90s". This slows down *every* boot unnecessary. I was able to resolve this bug only by a forced downgrade to 3.5.2-2. This bug should be fixed.

The second aspect is, that I don't use TLS-Tunnels or Hotspot-Captive-Portals. A new option in Debian's connmand binary to switch off TLS at boottime would be helpful against TLS-related bugs & security holes and would give back the control to the user.

Thank you.
