Title:
  document that PrivateTmp does not work for user instances

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When setting the option PrivateTmp to "yes" in a unit file, I expect
  that files created by the service shouldn't be visible to the outside
  world.

  To reproduce:

  $ systemctl  --user  edit  --full privatetmpdir.service
  [Unit]
  Description=TestService

  [Service]
  Type=oneshot
  ExecStart=/usr/bin/touch /tmp/1234.txt
  PrivateTmp=yes

  $ ls /tmp/1234.txt
  ls: cannot access '/tmp/1234.txt': No such file or directory

  $ systemctl --user restart privatetmpdir.service
  $ ls /tmp/1234.txt
  /tmp/1234.txt

  here i expect there to not be a file "/tmp/1234.txt", but there is.

  Running the same unit file on the system systemd behaves as expected,
  the file in /tmp is not visible to the outside world.
