Why is my service running as root
I'm brand new here and I've recently started getting into linux system administration. Currently I have an old laptop hooked up to my router running as linux box. I installed qbittorrent to run as a remote torrent box (to download linux distros of course) and I created a new user, "qbuser" for it to run under. I created the appropriate unit file but when I look at the process list, it's running as root. Can anyone give some pointers on why this might be happening?
