Daemons with a config requiring pam_lognuid.so will be unable to work if
they are launched by a logged in admin as opposed to systemd.  Obvious
work around is to change the pam config.

Login daemons launched by sysinit at boot will work.
Login daemons launched by systemd will work.

Login daemons launched by sysint from a logged in admin will fail.

Make sense?

I'm not sure what pam spews into the logs...
