bitcoin user and group. Access to bitcoin-cli and other bitcoind rpc clients
can then be controlled by group membership.
NOTE: When using the systemd .service file, the creation of the aforementioned
directories and the setting of their permissions is automatically handled by
systemd. Directories are given a permission of 710, giving the bitcoin group
access to files under it _if_ the files themselves give permission to the
bitcoin group to do so (e.g. when `-sysperms` is specified). This does not allow
for the listing of files under the directory.
NOTE: It is not currently possible to override `datadir` in
`/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf` with the current systemd, OpenRC, and Upstart init
files out-of-the-box. This is because the command line options specified in the
init files take precedence over the configurations in
`/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`. However, some init systems have their own
configuration mechanisms that would allow for overriding the command line
options specified in the init files (e.g. setting `BITCOIND_DATADIR` for
OpenRC).

systemd init file
=========
The systemd init file (`contrib/init/bitcoind.service`) has been changed to use
`/var/lib/bitcoind` as the data directory instead of `~bitcoin/.bitcoin`. This
change makes Bitcoin Core more consistent with other services, and makes the
systemd init config more consistent with existing Upstart and OpenRC configs.
The configuration, PID, and data directories are now completely managed by
systemd, which will take care of their creation, permissions, etc. See
[`systemd.exec (5)`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#RuntimeDirectory=)
for more details.
When using the provided init files under `contrib/init`, overriding the
`datadir` option in `/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf` will have no effect. This is
because the command line arguments specified in the init files take precedence
over the options specified in `/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`.
