Description of problem: I create a config file for systemd-tmpfiles and place it here: ~/.config/user-tmpfiles.d/podman.conf Now I put in this line in the file d /run/user/%U/podman 700 %u %u and run systemctl enable --user systemd-tmpfiles-setup After rebooting my PC I find that this is not working. No file has been created. When I write it like this it works: d /run/user/%U/podman 700 fansari fansari According to this documentation: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/tmpfiles.d.html I expected %u to be resolved as user name. The weird thing is: %U is not an issue. This is working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 241 How reproducible: see above Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: The tmpfile is not created using the %u specifier Expected results: The tmpfile should be created using specifiers. Additional info:
Specifier expansion is not supported in the user/group fields. We could enable that, but I don't think it'll be very useful. You can just use "-", it'll have the same effect.
