** Description changed:

+ [SRU] The debdiff attached to LP: #1009436 backports
+ cntlm-0.92.3-1ubuntu1 from Quantal to Precise.
+ 
+ [IMPACT]
+ Cntlm does not start if the parent proxy is unavailable.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Cntlm should be correctly configured and network proxy applied system wide as 
127.0.0.1 port 3128 for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, but not Socks.
+ 
+ Restart the computer with no network cable attached, open Firefox and enter a 
URL.
+ 0.91 behaviour: the message 'The proxy server is refusing connections' 
appears.
+ 0.92 behaviour: the message '502 connection timed out. cntlm proxy failed to 
complete the request' appears.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal: cntlm has no dependants and no dependencies besides libc6.
+ Please see LP: #1009436 for additional information.
+ 
+

  I have just installed cntlm 0.91rc6 on ubuntu server 10.10.
  
  On every reboot, cntlm does not work properly.
  
  Config 1: I put 3 Listen lines in cntlm.conf to only bind 3 interfaces.
  On the boot log, cntlm complaints that 'Cannot bind port ', with the first 2 
reason are set to the port is used and the last reason is set to interface not 
available. Then I got 'No proxy service ports were successfully opened' 
message, but a few lines later it stated that the cntlm daemon has been started 
sucessfully.
  Later on if I did 'netstat -an | grep LISTEN', I only see the first 2 
interface bound to cntlm.
  Manually restart the service works every time.
  
  Config 2: Instead I set the 'Gatewayl' parameter to 'yes'.
  On the boot log, cntlm is no longer complaint that it can't bind the port, 
however I still see 'No proxy service ports were successfully opened' message 
followed by successful daemon start.
  On 'netstat -an | grep LISTEN', I got cntlm listening to '0.0.0.0:8081', 
however if I use the proxy, cntlm *always* return that cntlm can't forward the 
request. From the IP trace of the interface, I can see cntlm does not even try 
to open *any* request connection, just immediately return the browser client 
request with the above error message.
  Manually restart the service works every time.
  
  Does the cntlm service started too early on reboot???
