It is almost certainly wrong - NotifyAccess= make sense only with Type=notify; I doubt sshdfilter has systemd notification bits implemented (real paths should be /run and /usr/sbin, but it doesn't really matter for your case). > ============ sshdfilter.socket =================== > > [Unit] > Description=sshdfilter Named Pipe > Documentation=file:///usr/share/doc/sshdfilter-1.5.7/INSTALL.Fedora > DefaultDependencies=no > After=syslog.target > > [Socket] > ListenFIFO=/var/run/sshdfilter.fifo > SocketMode=0644 again, DefDeps are no-no. syslog is always available To debug further, you should provide "systemctl status" outputs for socket and service units.
