Hi, after I've installed gui-apps/tuigreet-0.7.2 I've noticed additional error in journalctl:
>Jul 14 06:49:53 nugget systemd[3570]: Failed to open configuration file '/dev/null/.config/systemd/user.conf': Not a directory
After a little investigation I think I found reason to this error: user greetd has set /dev/null as home:
>greetd:x:396:396:User for gui-libs/greetd:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin

Hmm, I'm wondering why systemd tries to open the configuration file for that user?
In any case, afaics this would need to be fixed in acct-user/greetd and not in tuigreet but i think it's better to find out why this is happening in the first place.
