Yes, looks like it was a timeout issue. Set it to 10 now and the issue 
went away. :)  good catch.

Considering that the script is the one I had sent to this list a while 
back when I setup OpenNebula on openSUSE 12.1 for systemd I should have 
really caught this.

Oh well. Time for me to look at sending some patches as I noticed that 
the .service files I had posted are also in the main source tree now. 
How nice, and thanks for including those.

On the first run of oned the ONE_AUTH environment variable needs to be 
set, subsequent start ups of oned do not need the environment variable. 
Therefore, the idea is to let the script be executed with the 
environment variable set and let oned do whatever magic it needs to do.

This allows the creation of a relatively simple .service file for systemd.

The dependence on the environment variable for the initial setup is 
unfortunate. It would be nice if one could just supply a -auth argument 
and point oned to the location of the authentication file instead.

But maybe I am not getting the whole authentication mechanism properly 
as I have not spend a lot of time in trying to understand how this all 
fits together.
