Similar issues seem to have come up for other packages:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/27415
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/39136
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/39136
And possibly:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=setcap
Some programs *might* be able to handle this sort of thing in a service
definition, but lcsync at least should be callable by the user from the
commandline (sort of like rsync); it doesn't normally have a daemon
component that would make sense to run as a service.
live well,
vagrant
