Perhaps not special enough, but surely you've noticed these lines?
User=backuppc
Group=backuppc Yes, I invoke BackupPC from a backuppc xterm:
$ groups
backuppc
$ whoami
backuppc
Thanks for raising that possibility.
Since it's a simple type, there's not anything special that systemd does
except ... exactly what you did at the command line. (N.B.: it's
possible to override systemd with unit files that take priority, but I
imagine if something like that were at play you'd know about it.)
What this leaves is environmental differences between the user
backuppc's shell and systemd's backuppc environment -- I can't imagine
what that would be that would be that would affect only the web
service... What is the configuration for that (from backuppc's config)?
