#4441 kojid.service does not reliably start

Reopen Issue

There are two problems I have encountered that cause kojid.service to fail.

The first is that if the service does not wait for the network connection to be online it cannot communicate with the server and fails to start.

The second is that gssapi requires accurate time. On systems with a good clock time being out of sync probably is not a big problem, however we haven't been so lucky thus far with riscv64 builders for https://riscv-koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/

Enabling chrony-wait.service and adjusting the kojid.service to have After=network-online.target httpd.service chrony-wait.service appears to result in reliable starts.

I can't browse or create a PR from my fork otherwise I would submit a PR. Anyway, this is what is working for me:
