[arch-general] Systemd services start by default
Today I noticed there were network services running on my system. I DON'T have have permanently running network services. WTF happened? Systemd happened! Or rather systemd-resolved and the systemd time sync daemon. It seems that a recent update set those services to start by default. I thought I would let you know and maybe this is worth an announcement because I won't be the only one not happy about systemd enableing services an my system that I don't need/want.

How, exactly, is it doing this?

Nope, resolved and timesyncd are not enabled in systemd 232-6. You or some program on your system did something... Cheers, L. -- Leonid Isaev

Thats concerning... Maybe someone else has noticed such services running on their systems as well. I don't remember installing new packages though, only updates.

Perhaps pacman remembers; did take a look at the pacman log? Mvg, Guus Snijders

I might be worth having a look in /usr/lib/systemd/network and reporting back what you find. Regards,
