Have the init script echo a value into /proc/self/loginuid ?
The loginuid is supposed to be used only for real user sessions. The daemon
would not normally qualify as a user session. I suspect that this is needed
because we have no way to audit by process name. I suspect that is the real
issue that leads to needing to use the loginuid for something it was not
intended for.
