So is the correct solution to this issue to create a user to run guacd, set the guacd service to run from that user and have that user to run guacd have a writable home folder?
Yes, I think that's correct. Modifying file src/guacd/systemd/guacd.service.in before running configure should do half of the job (see below). The other half is creating the user, which will create the home directory by default.

I am installing Guac server from source direct from the apache guacamole site: "https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapache.org%2Fdyn%2Fcloser.cgi%3Faction%3Ddownload%26filename%3Dguacamole%2F%24&data=02%7C01%7Csmr%40kmi.com%7C4eddfcfcaf2d4a80f76c08d7a9842c6d%7Cc2283768b8d34e008f3d85b1b4f03b33%7C0%7C0%7C637164257464459596&sdata=%2FxtiukSBxp5jiAoz6LZQcVdRj5VbgSIJNHXosRHB%2B4M%3D&reserved=0{GUAC_VER}/";, not a repo like EPEL. I ran the following command: ps aux | grep guacd This returned: daemon 22404 0.0 0.3 116488 13068 ? Ss 09:28 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/guacd -f So apparently the user that guacd runs off for me is "daemon". getent passwd returns: daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nologin Which explains why sbin is listed as the home folder via the error message in /var/log/messages. So is the correct solution to this issue to create a user to run guacd, set the guacd service to run from that user and have that user to run guacd have a writable home folder? If that's correct, how do I set what user runs guacd?
