AFAIK, rsyncd write its own logfile, it doesn't use syslog.

Yes, it writes to /var/log/rsyncd.log. But if that's the case, how does journalctl know when the rsyncd logs begin and end?

What makes you believe it is logs for rsyncd? What does it say for any other unit?

The same for sshd. So there *is* an rsyncd unit, but not very useful for this use case. That's OK. I'll stick with 'tail'.

Presumably it is getting that information from the rsyncd systemd unit. And if there isn't an rsyncd unit, then it should say so. Or have I misunderstood
