Details

unrealircd, the IRC server daemon will always start as root after package update.
This package provides a configuration file in /etc/conf.d/unrealircd with "UNREALIRCD_USER=root" in it.
UNREALIRCD_USER is then used in /etc/rc.d/unrealircd to su unrealircd to a named user.

For security reasons, i run unrealircd as a limited user, and so i have in /etc/conf.d/unrealircd: "UNREALIRCD_USER=myuser".
But after package update, this file is overwritten and unrealircd will start as root.

I guess there is the second problem fitting in this bug report. The systemd service for unrealircd doesn't provide possibility to start as another user.
This task depends upon

I added 'etc/conf.d/unrealircd' to backup array so it should not be overwritten anymore.
