start by systemd hangs

ejabberdctl started
su: Authentication failure

ejabberctl started is simply polling in loop ejabberctl status.

/bin/sh -x /usr/sbin/ejabberdctl status
 
...
su -s /bin/sh -c "$0" "$@" ejabberd -- /usr/bin/erl -sname ea7-ctl-ejabberd@spox1 +K true -smp auto +P 250000 -env ERL_CRASH_DUMP_BYTES 0 -hidden -noinput -s ejabberd_ctl -extra ejabberd@foo1 status

Take care what hostname is used for connection (ejabberd@foo1). With default configuration, host foo1 should be resolvable to IP from lo range.
