In case it wasn't clearly enough explained why this is happening: it clears out /dev/shm when the user's LAST session ends, but logind only considers sessions that it knows about. So when you su to a user and create something in /dev/shm that isn't a logind session. You then scp or ssh and that IS a session, and then when that session ends there are no more sessiuns, so bye bye /dev/shm content. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
