I add that systemd logging is still broken.  I think that
I need to get p4p1 back.

  [root at mbrc40 myDaemon]# make enable
  /bin/systemctl enable myDaemon.service
  ln -s '/etc/systemd/system/myDaemon.service'
'/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/myDaemon.service'
  Failed to issue method call: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network
connection was broken.
make: *** [enable] Error 1
