rsyncd not running with systemd

[crcarson]

Been running 15.04 under systemd for a week or so without any problems. Noticed that my rsync job on my laptop is failing to connect to the 15.04 desktop. The rsyncd is not running on the desktop. There is what appears to be a valid rsync.service file in /lib/systemd/system which is supposed to start the rsyncd (in fact manually issuing the command returns no errors and the rsyncd runs and the laptop rsync job completes). Check the systemd journal and do not see any indication that the start of the rsync.service job failed. What should I check or try to get the rsyncd running?

Running "systemctl stop rsync" and "systemctl start rsync" will stop and restart the rsyncd without any indication of an error. Seems that something is stopping systemd from working on the rsync.service file when I boot the system.

After booting the system ran the following "systemctl status rsync" and got the output....

cliff@Desktopps:/etc/systemd/system$ systemctl status rsync
● rsync.service - fast remote file copy program daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsync.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)


Appears the service (or unit) is disabled and not starting automatically. How do I enable the service?

Maybe I'm asking the wrong question so how about this one...

Running 15.04 with systemd and want to ensure that the rsync daemon is started at boot. What needs to be set? Don't remember having an rsyncd problem when running 15.04 and upstart.

sudo systemctl status rsync.service
sudo systemctl start rsync.service 
sudo systemctl enable rsync.service
sudo systemctl disable rsync.service

to check, start, make/stop it start on boot...

sudo systemctl status rsync.service
sudo systemctl start rsync.service 
sudo systemctl enable rsync.service
sudo systemctl disable rsync.service

to check, start, make/stop it start on boot...

Thanks, running "sudo systemctl enable rsync" now starts rsyncd at boot.

Yeap, as it should. Enjoy...
