diamond fails to run at boot with "Name or service not known"

[paulraines68]

On CentOS7 using diamond-4.0.515 with the included systemd service file, diamond always fails to run at boot but starts fine by a hand later.

The error in the log is:

[2020-10-23 16:07:50,198] [MainThread] Unhandled exception: [Errno -2] Name or service not known
[2020-10-23 16:07:50,199] [MainThread] traceback: Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried adding the following to [Unit] in /etc/systemd/system/diamond.service but it made no difference

After=network.target

I then changed that to the following and it did work:

After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target
