Launching by hand can be made to work by changing your pam config to
switch pam_loginuid.so to be 'optional' instead of 'required.'   It also
means that the admin who started the service will be attributed to
everything someone who logs in did.

but those are the knocks if you do weird stuff like launch your own sshd
inside a chroot....
