It appears that this example maybe out of date. Looks like the argument
StandardInput is no longer valid, according to:
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.service.html
 
We also do not see where the "@" is being used in any of the scripts
for the names. The supplied sshd.service looks different and does not
have an accompanying sshd.socket file. So we really do not understand
how this works at this point.
