Thanks for the reply, Jonathan. Odd thing is that the failure disappeared for a time (I posted a followup to my OP that was never delivered to the list) and now I see that I have a "user@65534.service" failed: $ systemctl --failed UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● user@65534.service loaded failed failed User Manager for UID 65534 LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded. ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB. SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type. 1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too. To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'. Which I have no idea what this is about and will have to investigate later as I have to keep a schedule. Thanks, - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
