If you look at /lib/systemd/system/cups.socket you'll see [Socket] ListenStream=/var/run/cups/cups.sock and [root@meimei system]# file /var/run/cups/cups.sock /var/run/cups/cups.sock: socket Shows the existence of the socket. But looking in syslog.socket you'll see .... [Socket] ListenDatagram=/run/systemd/journal/syslog and [root@meimei system]# file /run/systemd/journal/syslog /run/systemd/journal/syslog: ERROR: cannot open `/run/systemd/journal/syslog' (No such file or directory) So, it would seem that particular socket it not created/in use for whatever particular reason.
