What's magic about /tmp/? ntpd can't find UNIX socket

Found it. systemd sets up separate /tmp for some services.
Features/ServicesPrivateTmp
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ServicesPrivateTmp
Run some services started by systemd with a private /tmp directory. This would
mitigate the chance of a service making a mistake with how it handles its /tmp
data allowing a user on the system to get a privilege escalation, since users
would not have access to the services /tmp directory.
Poking around finds these:
/var/tmp/systemd-private-2c3b3b4c2ab247d6818605b23cd9d8a8-ntpd.service-oWq0lA/t
mp
/tmp/systemd-private-2c3b3b4c2ab247d6818605b23cd9d8a8-ntpd.service-2VABCf/tmp
Both are empty.
