Description

I noticed the phabricator processes (TaskMasterDaemon etc) are running as root when looking at something else.

I was thinking we probably want to add a proper system user via puppet and then make it run as that instead as long as there is no specific reason for the current setup.

AFAIK PhD is set to run as PhD user so maybe an update mixed thing up or something.
