SELinux certainly was causing fun and games. I copied your suggestion
to /etc/systemd/user/timidity.service (mode 750) but it's still not happy:
[root@tamar user]# systemctl status timidity
timidity.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Th...
... Starting LSB: Add and remove timidity...
... timidity.service: control process exited, code=exited status=203
... Failed to start LSB: Add and remove timidity.
... Unit timidity.service entered failed state.
... Stopped timidity.service.
I've wasted way too much time on this, I've put it in my .profile.
The weirdness of systemctl will have to wait!
Thanks all
