+ - Simple conditionals: "C path mode user group - (tmpfiles-line)" does tmpfiles-line if path has mode, user, and group: + C /usr/bin/screen 2755 root utmp - d /var/run/screen 0775 root utmp + C /usr/bin/screen 4755 root utmp - d /var/run/screen 0755 root utmp + C /usr/bin/screen 0755 root utmp - d /var/run/screen 1777 root utmp

While I know I *just* posted a mail suggesting that more service state move to unit files... this feels pretty hacky to me.

Are there any use cases other than screen?

I also don't like the idea of admins "configuring" via chmod on stuff in /usr/bin. OSTree simply won't support that for example.

A lot of this may come back to the discussion about screen and sessions. If for example, users could request a new headless session, then most of the screen security-related architecture would be completely unnecessary with systemd, since the per-user state could just be hooked off of the per-user runtime dir. The per-user runtime dir would stay alive because the headless session would keep the user around.
