Description

Hi,

on Ubuntu20, the user daemon got /usr/sbin configured as home. Guacamole systemd service files are using User=daemon to start the guacd process. A rdp session is calling FreeRDP as user daemon. However the directory /usr/sbin/.config/freerdp does not exist.

A quick test, creating that and chown to daemon fixed the rdp problem.  A correct solution would be to create a guacd user with propper home directoy during installtion.
