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!
