Actual spec for systemd-homed: https://github.com/poettering/systemd/blob/homed/docs/HOME_D... "If the UID assigned to a user does not match the owner of the home directory in the file system, the home directory is automatically and recursively chown()ed to the correct UID." I wish systemd fixed centralized UID/GID management first before trying to do this bit.

What a good idea. Here's the hyperlinkified link to the {systemd-homed.service, systemd-userdbd.service, homectl, userdbctl} sources from the PDF: https://github.com/poettering/systemd/tree/homed Hadn't heard of varlink: https://varlink.org/ Is there a FIPS-like subset of the most-widely-available LUKS configs? Otherwise home directories won't work on systems that have a limited set of LUKS modules.
