Systemd replace deprecated PermissionsStartOnly

setpill · setpill · commit bd8d659c7f94 · 2019-09-30T14:32:34.000+02:00
PermissionsStartOnly is deprecated (but not yet removed); its
functionality replaced by special executable prefixes. The `!` prefix
allows the prefixed command to be run with unrestricted User and Group.
This is necessary to ensure group ownership is set correctly to the
configuration directory.
