RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd-219-19.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a service unit with RuntimeDirectory=, User= and Group= all set
2. Ensure the chosen group is not the primary group of the user
3. Start the service

Actual results:

The /run/service directory is created, but owned by the primary group of the User, not the group defined in the Group= directive in the service unit.

Expected results:

The /run/service directory is created with group set to that defined in the Group= directive in the service unit.

Additional info:

This appears to be the same issue as <https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1231>

Looks like we might need to backport https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/1320/commits/5bc7452b3219456e07f931e40da30bb94a884293 , but it needs a closer look.
