On any given system, I would expect ovsdb-server to run as the same user
every time.  Is there a reason to sometimes use a different user?

Or, perhaps you are saying that, just before invoking ovsdb-server, the
service unit should chown (or whatever) the database file to the user
that it is going to use to invoke ovsdb-server.  That might be
reasonable, but no one has thought to do it yet.  Do you want to submit
a patch?

Thanks,

Ben.
