Hi, As of version 2.3.2 systemd includes support for creating a user to run a service as, and extended support since 2.3.5. [1]
Currently we have stable 233-r6 and 236-r5 on amd64. Since we have to support both openrc and systemd in gentoo, and will have create a service user for running under openrc anyways, does it make any sense to provide service files with DynamicUser=yes ? If a statically allocated user/group already exists, and unit file contains relevant User=/Group=, the configured user is used and no dynamic user/group is allocated. [2] According to 'grep' there are 2 packages currently in the tree: net-p2p/cpuminer-opt/files/cpuminer-opt.service 8:DynamicUser=true net-p2p/xmr-stak/files/xmr-stak.service 13:DynamicUser=true Both do not provide OpenRC files, so it makes sense. Maybe other packages also use that with upstream provided service files, I haven't checked. What I'm asking for is your opinion if it's something that should be used in gentoo or should I try to avoid it if possible, especially if a static user is alredy present in the system. Thanks!
