So I have to run systemd-sysusers, and after that, find the UID of the
user and chown the home directory? Or is there the equivalent of the
“useradd -m” flag somewhere that I’m just not seeing?
systemd-sysusers is, as the name suggests, really for _system_ users,
and often those kinds of users don't have ordinary home directories --
that is, ones the user can actually write to.
However, systemd-sysusers.service is ordered before
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service at boot, so if you need to create a
system user's home directory and ensure its ownership is correct, you
could use a corresponding tmpfiles.d fragment to do so.
i hope you meant systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service is ordered before
systemd-sysusers.service and you simply talked about "Before=" which in
fact means ordered after
