Responding to myself, it seems that my problem was that I created the drop-in conf file as: /etc/systemd/system/grok-fsck@foo.d/10-runas.conf However, for the override to properly apply, it needed to be in: /etc/systemd/system/grok-fsck@foo.service.d/10-runas.conf I think without the "service" part in the directory name it was not properly found by the timer-triggered service run. -K _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
