Do you have pam_systemd.so enabled in /etc/pam.d? I am seat0 (I forgot about loginctl, thanks) but I'm not sure what you mean by "enabled in /etc/pam.d". Many months ago I remember being confused by the last line of system-auth: #cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_ssh.so auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth optional pam_permit.so account required pam_unix.so account optional pam_permit.so password required pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3 password required pam_unix.so try_first_pass use_authtok nullok sha512 shadow password optional pam_permit.so session optional pam_ssh.so session required pam_limits.so session required pam_env.so session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_permit.so -session optional pam_systemd.so I don't understand the meaning of the '-' in the last line. I didn't put it there, except possibly by accident when falling asleep at the keyboard :)
