A start job is running for Raise network interfaces (long time / 5 minutes)

This is January 2017. "systemd" should not be used for critical missions.

When the network was down (without electricity), I noticed:

A start job is running for Raise network interfaces (long time / 5 minutes)

In /etc/systemd/system.conf,

#default
#DefaultTimeoutStartSec=90s

#changed
DefaultTimeoutStartSec=40s

#default
#DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s

#changed
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=40s

These settings did not work as expected. It was a long waiting time.
