Description:
Recently systemd has been discouraging the use of User=nobody in unit files (see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/bed0b7dfc0070e920d00c89d9a4fd4db8d974cf0). I'm wondering if the talk.service file can be rewritten to use systemd-sysusers to avoid potentially unsafe behavior. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: $ systemctl status talk.service ● talk.service - Talk Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/talk.service; indirect; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:talkd(8) man:talk(1) Nov 18 10:46:19 lab16 systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/talk.service:6: Special user nobody configured, this is not safe! |

This will be fixed in a pkgrel bump. Feel to give it a spin in testing.
