According to systemd.unit(5) this directory is for "User units created by the administrator". > Here's what I know so far: > > $ env | grep -i ssh > SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXZAaNOY/agent.3010 > SSH_AGENT_PID=3011 > > $ ps ax | grep 3011 > 3011 ?

The ssh-agent with PID 3011 is being started by the system instance, so it is a system unit. It's not your locally defined user unit. Things you should look at next, I suppose: systemctl status ssh-agent systemctl --user status ssh-agent Starting an ssh-agent via systemd is completely outside of my experience, though, and I don't really understand why you'd attempt it. It's not clear to me *at all* how you would communicate the environment variables from the ssh-agent invocation over to the user's login session.
