debian preseed net configuration

I'm trying to setup a debian preseed with a pxeboot setup. But it always seems to ignore the netcfg section; or perhaps I am configuring it wrong. I am getting the preseed file from tftp. I'm fine if it needs to use DHCP while it's installing, but why doesn't it configure it for static after

vipw and vigr default editor

NFSv4 without Kerberos and permissions

I recently set up an NFS v4 server on debian stretch. If I use a debian client to mount the share, everything works fine. However, if I use a CentOS or a Ubuntu client, the permissions don't work. I have synchronized the group ids manually, and that's the only permissions I'm interested in.

delay the start of a service until LACP negotiation is complete

I need two services to wait until the network is fully up before I start them. In Jessie, I made an rc.local script that pinged google 20 times until it got a response. After that, it started the services. This seemed to work great. I upgraded one of the systems to stretch, and the script stopped
