<pre>systemd will not start any service for user which name contains dash ("-").
systemd will exit with status 217.
Reproduced on version 208-2.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable service for user (for example btsync-autoconfig or dropbox) for user
with dashes in name: systemctl enable <a href="mailto:dropbox@test-user.service">dropbox@test-user.service</a>
2. Try to start: systemctl start <a href="mailto:dropbox@test-user.service">dropbox@test-user.service</a>
3. See status: systemctl status <a href="mailto:dropbox@test-user.service">dropbox@test-user.service</a>
Status contains something like this:
<a href="mailto:dropbox@test-user.service">dropbox@test-user.service</a> - Dropbox
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Ср 2013-11-13 13:38:26 MSK; 3s ago
Process: 16923 ExecStart=/usr/bin/dropboxd (code=exited, status=217/USER)
Main PID: 16923 (code=exited, status=217/USER)
For user "test" all works.</pre>
