@schmittlauch @jgoguen @XOR Has anyone tested how non-Systemd systems handle the same issue?

@rochelimit @schmittlauch @XOR On BSD and pre-systemd systems, even systemd using "not systemd" to start the process, this works as expected. There's some exceptions where some tools refuse to allow you to create users named like this, but if you do it anyway you don't end up with a user process running as root.
