There are cases where a home directory of system users carry some semantics. Two examples from the top of my head: * Some tftpd implementations use it as the base path (and chroot into it) * Some anonymous ftpd implementation have similar use (chroot into ~ftp) So I assume *all* of these cases should be replaced by systemd explicit settings -- e.g: WorkingDirectory, RootDirectory in the unit file. Generally, I prefer the explicit systemd settings over home directory with "magical" effects, but I wonder if anyone is aware of existing system users which carry more complex semantics.
