Frequent D-Bus service launched with name: net.reactivated.Fprint

[Robert Moskowitz]

Why oh why is it now so complicated???? chkconfig was usable by the 
average skilled user; systemctl is NOT!

Well systemctl does NOT list Fprint.

I did find the following files:

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/net.reactivated.Fprint.conf
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/net.reactivated.Fprint.service

[root at lx120e ~]# cat /etc/dbus-1/system.d/net.reactivated.Fprint.conf
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
  "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
  "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>

<!-- Only root can own the service -->
<policy user="root">
<allow own="net.reactivated.Fprint"/>
</policy>

<!-- Anyone can talk to the service -->
<policy context="default">
<allow send_destination="net.reactivated.Fprint"/>
<allow send_interface="net.reactivated.Fprint"/>
</policy>

</busconfig>
[root at lx120e ~]# cat 
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/net.reactivated.Fprint.service
[D-BUS Service]
Name=net.reactivated.Fprint
Exec=/usr/libexec/fprintd
User=root

So I tried:

systemctl status net.reactivated.Fprint

and got:

Failed to issue method call: Unit name net.reactivated.Fprint is not valid.

Now what?
