/Seems that some leftovers from System V still reside in YOCTO... Correct???
Yocto project supports sysvinit as init system option as well so no there are no leftovers.
/ Not sure about that. The problem I faced was because there was a sshd.socket that had the following line in it. The sshd.socket comes with openssh. Conflicts=sshd.service So I had two options. either to add the ExecStartPre in the sshd.service file or to remove the Conflicts line in sshd.socket. I choose to remove the Conflicts line and add the following in the sshd.socket file. After=network.target Before=sshd.service
Usually you use socket activation for sshd then you would enable sshd.socket and not sshd.service, socket will be listening on incoming connections on ssh port ( 22 by defaault ) and launch sshd.service whenever there is incoming ssh connection request. I suggest you should perhaps follow this approach as well, its also efficient due to its on-demand launch nature.
