Public bug reported: The current definition in `/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service` uses `After=network.target`, which is pretty useless, as `network.target` according to http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/ only has relevance during shutdown, which never happens for rc.local.
The result is that tasks in rc.local may get started before the network is properly setup, which may cause them to fail, as this is a significant change from the old SysV init behaviour. The solution would be to change the dependency to Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target see also the notes in http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.special.html for that.
