Hi, I have been experimenting with archlinux guests inside LXC containers, and noticed that when a user logs out, systemd-logind won't remove the session. This is reproducible on all (archlinux x86_64) host-guest, testing-stable combinations. Here is an example (fserv1 is a container hostname). The only way to login is through ssh (sshd.service is enabled and running inside the container). fserv1-~ >>> loginctl list-sessions SESSION UID USER SEAT 5 0 root 16 2001 fserv1user 18 2001 fserv1user 19 2001 fserv1user 34 2001 fserv1user fserv1-~ >>> w 16:28:27 up 22:08, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT fserv1us pts/0 16:06 3.00s 0.11s 0.00s w fserv1-~ >>> id uid=2001(fserv1user) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),190(systemd-journal) fserv1-~ >>> loginctl list-users UID USER 0 root 2001 fserv1user 2 users listed. fserv1-~ >>> ps -u root -U root | grep -i sh 18 ? 00:00:00 sshd 1506 ? 00:00:00 sshd As root: [root@fserv1 ~]# loginctl session-status 16 16 - fserv1user (2001) Since: Mon 2013-08-19 03:59:13 UTC; 12h ago Leader: 748 Remote: hermes.skynet Service: sshd; type tty; class user State: closing CGroup: systemd:/system/lxc_fserv1.service/user/2001.user/16.session [root@fserv1 ~]# loginctl session-status 5 5 - root (0) Since: Sun 2013-08-18 19:48:16 UTC; 20h ago Leader: 141 Remote: hermes.skynet Service: sshd; type tty; class user State: closing CGroup: systemd:/system/lxc_fserv1.service/user/0.user/5.session [root@fserv1 ~]# loginctl kill-session 16 Failed to issue method call: No such process [root@fserv1 ~]# loginctl kill-session 5 Failed to issue method call: No such process However, sshd works correctly, e.g. Aug 18 19:48:16 fserv1 sshd[141]: Accepted password for root from 10.0.0.154 port 39596 ssh2 Aug 18 19:48:16 fserv1 sshd[141]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 18 19:48:16 fserv1 systemd-logind[22]: New session 5 of user root.

There are no errors/warnings reported by journalctl. The only systemd units masked inside the guests are: systemd-udevd-control.socket, systemd-udevd-kernel.socket, systemd-udevd.service, and proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount. Is this my mistake somewhere or a systemd issue? Thanks, Leonid. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
