The solution is there in the image that you sent to the list. This is
not an error in systemd, nor is it systemd-specific.


See the line that says "munged[9101] : munged: Error: Failed to check
logfile".

That line is the one that is relevant.

"permission denied" means that either the directory it's attempting to
open, or the file it's attempting to open, is owned by someone else than
the user munged runs as .


I'd suggest you look at the munged mailinglist or forum for help with this.

Most probably, if the init scripts read&write the files as a "munge"
user, but you've manually launched it as root, you've created the log
files with the wrong permissions / owner, and then get to fix it first.


Good luck.
