I don't know what you might've done. If you didn't start brltty with systemd
then, sure, you won't be able to stop it with systemd, either.

>Before I had a unit I wrote -- now I don't see anything in /lib/systemd/system

:0( I remember carefully listing each file and where it goes a few weeks ago.
According to the above, you're at least missing brltty.path and
brltty-device at .service.

Brltty's tools install the right files into the right places. The fault is with
gentoo isisting on doing everything its own way.

Nor do I. I don't believe I've ever heard of a command not being executed due
to incorrect user credentials.
