I'm running asterisk, a telephony app, on Fedora 31.

If I start asterisk as user asterisk all goes well. But if I use systemd, I get a bunch of permission problems.

asterisk[1411]: [Jan 21 19:36:47] ERROR[1411]: res_sorcery_config.c:320 sorcery_config_internal_load: Unable to load config file 'pjsip.conf' Jan 21 19:36:47 asterisk.riverside asterisk[1411]: [Jan 21 19:36:47] ERROR[1411]: config_options.c:710 aco_process_config: Unable to load config file 'confbridge.conf' asterisk[1411]: [Jan 21 19:36:47] ERROR[1411]: app_confbridge.c:4351 load_module: Unable to load config.

In the app I can try to reload the modules:

module load res_xmpp.so
Unable to load module res_xmpp.so
Command 'module load res_xmpp.so' failed.
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/xmpp.conf': Not found (Permission denied)

module load res_stun_monitor.so
Unable to load module res_stun_monitor.so
Command 'module load res_stun_monitor.so' failed.
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/res_stun_monitor.conf': Not found (Permission denied)

module load chan_iax2.so
Unable to load module chan_iax2.so
Command 'module load chan_iax2.so' failed.
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/iax.conf': Not found (Permission denied)

So it's a permission problem, But the files are all there, with appropriate permissions (I think) :

ls -l /etc/asterisk | grep 'xmpp\|monitor\|iax\|confbridge'
-rw-r--r--. 1 asterisk asterisk 23674 Dec 12 19:54 confbridge.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 asterisk asterisk  1250 Dec 12 19:54 iax.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 asterisk asterisk  2401 Dec 19 18:30 iaxprov.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 asterisk asterisk  1403 Dec 12 19:54 res_stun_monitor.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 asterisk asterisk  2728 Dec 12 19:55 xmpp.conf

Here's the systemd service file:

cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/asterisk.service | grep -v '#'
[Unit]
Description=Asterisk PBX and telephony daemon.
After=nss-lookup.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Environment=HOME=/var/lib/asterisk
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/asterisk
User=asterisk
Group=asterisk
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/asterisk -f -C /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
ExecStop=/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'core stop now'
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'core reload'

PrivateTmp=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

So why would starting asterisk as user asterisk work, but fail using systemd ?

Any help appreciated.

p.s. This is a cross post with asterisk user.
