[SOLVED] problem enabling sshd.socket

hbc2 · 2019-09-22 15:19:45

I just built a machine for scratch. I Iogged in as root and did the following:

# pacman -S openssh
.
.
.
# systemctl enable sshd.socket
Failed to enable unit: Unit file sshd.socket does not exist

The install ran without errors. I'm rather sure I've done this in the past but it has been awhile since I needed to set ssh up.

Also I tried enabling ssh as a service and that works fine. Just can't get it going as socket.

Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

Close, just do

systemctl enable sshd.service

Edit: ~~You do not manually enable sockets, but they are handled through service files: "For each socket unit, a matching service unit must exist"~~
Looks like I am very wrong. Neat. The following post provides an answer. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/sy … ocket.html

You do manually enable sockets, but openssh doesn't ship with a socket anymore.
