[systemd-devel] [PATCH] Add usernames as arguments to tmpfiles ignore directives.

[Thomas Blume]

Currently, systemd can only ignore files specified by their path, during
tmpdir cleanup. This patch adds the feature to give usernames as argument.

During cleanup the file ownership is checked and files that match the specified
usernames are ignored.

For example, you could give:

X /tmp/* - - - - testuser3,testuser2

in order to prevent all files belonging to testuser2 and testuser3 from being
deleted in /tmp.

This feature has been available in SystemV systems.
Would be good to also have it in systemd systems.


Regards
Thomas Blume
