OK, took a crash course in systemctl. Got the service properly
enabled. However, got one odd error when I started it.

icecast2 as root
Mar 26 18:06:10 {my-FQDN} icecast[839]: Use the changeowner directive

The XML shows:
<changeowner>
<user>nobody</user>
<group>nogroup</group>
</changeowner>
Are you logged in as another user account other than root? If not, that's the simplest way I would do it. Jonnyboy!

Can do, but that doesn't solve the problem of why systemctl doesn't handle this properly, and what to do in the case of an unattended and unintended reboot where the thing has to start on its own with no intervention.

On Fedora the default config file is /etc/icecast.xml IIRC. TBR
Well, here's the whole output from systemctl.

I have since defined location and contact, but they were only warnings
anyway. The XML definitely contains a changeowner section with user
defined as nobody and group defined as nogroup.
