Third, to work around the problem add the following to the 

beginning of the init script.

mkdir /var/run/uuidd
chown uuidd:uuidd /var/run/uuidd

Their seems to be some other minor problems surrounding this 

suggestion.  Need to

read the script and see what needs to be done for real....but eating 

dinner at the

moment....  :-)

What you really want is to add this....

if ! [ -d /var/run/uuidd ]
    then
       mkdir /var/run/uuidd
       chown uuidd:uuidd /var/run/uuidd
fi

That doesn't fix the problem about "systemctl stop uuidd.service" not 

stopping the

service.

after adding the lines to create dir /var/run/uuidd
and chowning it; starting the daemon just hangs.
# service uuidd start
Starting uuidd (via systemctl):
And it stays there forever until interrupted.

I spoke too soon.
After about 5 minutes, systemctl reports failure:
# service uuidd start

Starting uuidd (via systemctl):  Job failed. See system logs and 

'systemctl status' for details.  [FAILED]

and in /var/log/messages:
May 29 08:32:23 localhost uuidd[11934]: Starting uuidd: [  OK  ]

May 29 08:32:23 localhost systemd[1]: PID file 

/var/lib/libuuid/uuidd.pid not readable (yet?) after start.

May 29 08:37:23 localhost systemd[1]: uuidd.service operation timed out. 

Terminating.

May 29 08:37:23 localhost systemd[1]: Unit uuidd.service entered failed 

state.

# ls -ld /var/lib/libuuid
drwxrwsr-x 2 uuidd uuidd 4096 Apr 17 07:39 /var/lib/libuuid/
So how many pid files does uuidd need?
So far, it seems 2
/run/uuidd/uuidd.pid
and
/var/lib/libuuid/uuidd.pid

At any rate, uuidd stays running:
# ps -C uuidd
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
11939 ?        00:00:00 uuidd
