You can also just manually remove your shell from the sshd.service cgroup, though this isn't recommended. > Is there any workaround for this situation, except for installing dbus > and libpam-systemd? In case there isn’t, shouldn’t we make dbus and > libpam-systemd a hard requirement? It'd mean a circular dependency, which is icky. But it begs the question, you write that you're not using libpam-systemd, so I'd like to ask why not?
