There's something not going right with the ssh sessions and systemd-logind where they're not getting deleted. w is just printing what it is given by sd_get_sessions(), so it's a symptom not a cause. I'm not sure exactly what is going on with these sessions, but it's not procps doing this. Both loginctl and w show the same number of users. - Craig
