Research direction

Start with the run_keybase and keybase status output, then inspect the KBFS log at /home/kbuser/.cache/keybase/keybase.kbfs.log and the service log at /home/kbuser/.cache/keybase/keybase.service.log. Determine why KBFS remains not running on CentOS and verify the status reports KBFS running after the issue is addressed.
