Created attachment 384080 [details, diff] Patch for upstream systemd unit to honor the environment file The systemd unit that comes with the ebuild for znc 1.4.1-r1 doesn't actually work. This is because the unit doesn't load the environment file from /etc/conf.d/znc, and as a result znc doesn't know where to load it's configuration from and tries to load it from /dev/null. I've updated the ebuild and added a patch that fixes the systemd unit.

Apologies, I tried to fix a typo in the patch with the "edit as comment" feature and I guess it doesn't do what I had thought it does.

Hi, this is fixed in the ebuild for version 1.6.3 https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=942dfd926c80e680f564099f0b9535a2777c0245 The Environment approach is apparently frowned upon (see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Systemd/conf.d_files) so I simply changed the znc user's home to /var/lib/znc without patching the systemd unit. I have not tested this but it should make the files go to /var/lib/znc/.znc. While I agree that this looks a big redundant, this is what the upstream unit does. If you want the systemd unit to be changed, I suggest you file a bug upstream (or edit the unit locally).
