Marking this as invalid, as discussed at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37755 I believe this bug may be valid. Service files which use 'User=%i' still fail with the same error. I've also tried to manually set a username containing a dash: User=test-user or User=test\x2duser ... and still receive the same error. Disregard. It looks like it's something with how I'm creating my users through sss local. (In reply to Ryan Bair from comment #2) > I believe this bug may be valid.

It looks like you can not create user "foo.bar" anymore... But now you (with systemd) you can not create use user "foo-bar" too. =) (In reply to Sergey Zolotorev from comment #4) > It looks like you can not create user "foo.bar" anymore... But now you (with > systemd) you can not create use user "foo-bar" too. =) For the sake of people who stumble upon this bug report: tl;dr: There's no problem with using a user name with a dash. When specified directly (e.g. User=test-user) there's no issue. When specifying the name as the instance argument, User=%i must be used, and User=%I does not work because dashes are "unescaped" to slashes (as was explained in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37755). |

systemd will not start any service for user which name contains dash ("-"). systemd will exit with status 217. Reproduced on version 208-2. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable service for user (for example btsync-autoconfig or dropbox) for user with dashes in name: systemctl enable dropbox@test-user.service 2. Try to start: systemctl start dropbox@test-user.service 3. See status: systemctl status dropbox@test-user.service Status contains something like this: dropbox@test-user.service - Dropbox Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Ср 2013-11-13 13:38:26 MSK; 3s ago Process: 16923 ExecStart=/usr/bin/dropboxd (code=exited, status=217/USER) Main PID: 16923 (code=exited, status=217/USER) For user "test" all works.
