You're welcome - and I think you've helped uncover a small bug (well,
enhancement) - I found two new systemd* users with suspiciously high
UIDs:

  systemd-journal-remote:x:998:998:systemd Journal Remote:/:/sbin/nologin
  systemd-journal-upload:x:997:997:systemd Journal Upload:/:/sbin/nologin

I'm pretty sure since package 'filesystem' isn't creating them (just
checked) that systemd is creating them dynamically at runtime,
searching through code now to prepare a bug report...
