I see that I couldn't previously find it with systemctl because it is a "static" service, neither enabled nor disabled. What is "static" really intended to mean here? The other static services seem to be boot-time related for the most part, eg anaconda, pvscan....
A "static" service is basically one that can't be disabled. It is statically enabled by being referenced in a systemd target.
Man for hostnamectl (also new to me) indicates some potential uses for the hostnamed-maintained names, yet I see nothing obvious making use of that info. Can you give me an example? Thanks for the clues.....Nick Geovanis
freedesktop.org has some examples of when and why the different hostnames would be used and how they're generated when the user doesn't provide more than the traditional static hostname [1].
