When using the sd_listen_fds(3) protocol, systemd is *not* calling accept()
on the service's behalf, and is not launching per-connection instances of
the service. The socket activation is merely lazy initialization, where
once a connection comes in, the normal ssh service is launched and manages
that socket from there on out. So there would be a master process keeping
track, unless I've overlooked something?
