I was looking into why the unit files for talkd/ntalkd were not working [1]. For some reason specifying these two lines in the same socket file triggers an unfortunate behavior in systemd: ListenDatagram=[::]:517 ListenDatagram=0.0.0.0:517
Systemd first of all fails to start the service. It then tries starting it again and again repeatedly. This quickly reaches the limit for failing to start a service too often. It still just continues and it spams the journal about having hit this limit. It caused a noticeable slow down of the computer and my log file began rotating. I have not looked into what is going on in systemd, or whether this is a bug or not. However it is case where I think that it could be nice to provide a clear error message. Maybe someone can spread some light about what is going on here? A socket file with just one of the two ListenDatagram-lines works just fine.
