Dear Maintainer,

thanks for your work !

In the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/irexec.service, an example is provided to run irexec as a user instead of root.
Thoses options are in an incorrect case :

[Service]
; user=lirc
; group=lirc

should be :

[Service]
; User=lirc
; Group=lirc

Notice the *U* in upper case in user. The same apply for *G*roup.

The file /usr/lib/systemd/system/lircd.service provide the same example and it is correct.

Best regards
