Thanks. I've just looked at this one and it has "After=syslog.target network.target auditd.service". AIUI, "After=network.target" (and similarly "After=syslog.target") is equivalent to having "Wants=network.service NetworkManager.service <other_network_managers>" and "After=network.service NetworkManager.service <other_network_managers>". But "After=auditd.service" is clearly an example of an "After=" without a "Requires=" or a "Wants=". Thanks again. PS: You'd expressed an desire for a dependency chain file in an earlier email. "systemctl list-dependencies" shows you the current dependency resolution. It's not what you were looking for but possibly something of interest (it has modifiers like "--after" and "--before").
