Icecast - Sep 2024 - Strange behavior in Icecast 2.44 startup

I have a script that starts Icecast, waits a couple seconds, then starts 
ices. When I installed it all on Ubuntu 20.04, it just worked. Well, it 
still works now, but with a wrinkle. If I execute:


/etc/init.d/icecast2 start


I get:


Starting icecast2 (via systemctl): icecast2.service==== AUTHENTICATING 
FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===Authentication is required to start
'icecast2.service'.
Multiple identities can be used for authentication:
 ?1.? Ubuntu (ubuntu)
 ?2.? ,,, (tgvpadmin)
 ?3.? Jackie McBride,,, (abletec)
Choose identity to authenticate as (1-3):


I absolutely did not set this up, nor have I ever seen this kind of 
behavior with Icecast before now. How did it get this way, and how can I 
undo this behavior? Particularly, I'd like tgvpadmin to be able to be 
the only one (except root, of course) to be able to start it.


TIA

Hi, as far as I understand ?/etc/init.d/icecast2 start? on your system just
dispatches to systemctl so
would be the same as systemctl start icecast2

The prompt means authentication is needed to run the command, hence you are
asked to provide it.

This has nothing to do with Icecast itself but with your distribution and
service management.
