2 years ago the included systemd files just do not work at least on rhel/centos 8
better install xinetd and use the classic way.
cat /etc/xinetd.d/poppassd
default: off
description: This program is based on original Qualcomm password changer daemon \
dedicated for, well, changing system passwords over network.

Fedora 35 system, systemd will not start the daemon.
Journal reporrts the following:

I am using the files poppassd.server and poppassd.socket as distributed, I have also tried to comment out all of the "hardening" stuff but no change.
if i run /usr/local/sbin/poppassd from the CLI it immediately responds with "200 poppassd"
I do have selinux disabled
