Actually, as far as I understand things, if you don't enable something that wants network.target, then you won't get it. You need to enable something like dhcpcd or networkd to get it. It works this way so that every package that needs the network doesn't try to run every network manager you have installed as many are mutually exclusive. Presumably if you don't run one of those services and start sshd, it will just end up listening on localhost (I assume something sets up the lo interface even if a network manager isn't running). -- Rich
