in localslackirc at .service

ReadWritePaths=/var/tmp

It uses /var/tmp because it needs a directory with 1777 permissions that is 
permanent, to keep some status.

The user it ends up using is configured by a seting, and is intended to be a 
non-system user (and could be different users for the various instances).

I guess the solution would be to create such a directory when installing, in /
var/lib/localslackirc instead of using /var/tmp and have the purge script 
remove it.
