Why would you do that?<br>
<br>
user@.service automatically pulls in user-runtime-dir@.service which<br>
is responsible for creating that dir with right perms.<br>
<br>
is 504 a system user? or a regular user?<br>
<br>
systemd generally assumes the boundary between system and regular<br>
users is between 999 and 1000.<br>
<br>
But user@.service is really just for regular users, not system users,<br>
hence my question.<br>
