Just to be clear we now have:
rsyncd at .service:
[Unit]
Description=rsyncd Rsync Daemon
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
EnvironmentFile=/etc/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rsync --config=/etc/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf --daemon
StandardInput=socket

[Install]
Also=rsyncd.socket
WantedBy=multi-user.target
