- <para>On login, this module ensures the following:</para>
-
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem><para>If it does not exist yet, the user runtime

- its ownership changed to the user that is logging

- <listitem><para>The <varname>$XDG_SESSION_ID</varname>
- environment variable is initialized. If auditing is available
- and <command>pam_loginuid.so</command> was run before this
- module (which is highly recommended), the variable is
- initialized from the auditing session id
- (<filename>/proc/self/sessionid</filename>). Otherwise, an
- independent session counter is used.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>A new systemd scope unit is created for the
- session. If this is the first concurrent session of the user, an
- implicit slice below <filename>user.slice</filename> is
- automatically created and the scope placed into it. An instance
- of the system service <filename>user@.service</filename>, which
- runs the systemd user manager instance, is started.

- <para>On logout, this module ensures the following:</para>
-
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem><para>If enabled in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>logind.conf</refentrytitle>
- <manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, all processes of the

- ends, the user's systemd instance will be terminated too, and so
- will the user's slice unit.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>If the last concurrent session of a user ends,

-
- <listitem><para>A session identifier, suitable to be used in

- <varlistentry>
- <term><varname>$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR</varname></term>
-
- <listitem><para>Path to a user-private user-writable directory
- that is bound to the user login time on the machine. It is
- automatically created the first time a user logs in and
- removed on the user's final logout. If a user logs in twice at
- the same time, both sessions will see the same
- <varname>$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR</varname> and the same contents. If
- a user logs in once, then logs out again, and logs in again,
- the directory contents will have been lost in between, but
- applications should not rely on this behavior and must be able
- to deal with stale files. To store session-private data in
- this directory, the user should include the value of
- <varname>$XDG_SESSION_ID</varname> in the filename. This
- directory shall be used for runtime file system objects such
- as <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> sockets, FIFOs, PID files and
- similar. It is guaranteed that this directory is local and
- offers the greatest possible file system feature set the
- operating system provides. For further details see the <ulink
