It seems docs/daemons.rst already states that .service or .socket files can be tweaked, but it does not say how this needs to be done.

Looking at systemd.socket(8) and ListenStream=: "These options may be specified more than once, ..." indicates that one may not be able to tweak just one knob with an override file. Instead the full unit must be provided in /etc/systemd.

In the context of the proposed patch, a specific "Environment=" line will hopefully be override the system provided line reliably.

I will add an example to this documentation file. The existing wording regarding sysconfig files can stay as it is.
