Hi George,

you can place an override file in /etc/systemd/systemd to change all xrootd instances or just a single one.

We have an override file [1] for just the alice instance in
	[log in to unmask]
to set the user/group as well as add a dependency on our storage system daemon.

Our storage system daemon runs as root, since it presents a full file system.
I cannot tell you how CEPH needs to be used, though.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Max

[1]$ cat [log in to unmask]
[Unit]
After=gpfs.service
Requires=gpfs.service

[Service]
User = scc-xrootd-0001
Group = scc-xrootd-0001
