I am having the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 now. All sessions appear to be for one user that is used for incoming ssh connections for rsync. Here's an example:
$ loginctl show-session 59 Id=59 User=1004 Name=raccess Timestamp=Чт 2018-03-29 20:20:03 MSK TimestampMonotonic=1763641802 VTNr=0 Remote=yes RemoteHost=216.126.59.227 Service=sshd Scope=session-59.scope Leader=2814 Audit=59 Type=tty Class=user Active=yes State=closing IdleHint=no IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 I don't see any processes running under user raccess apart from system ones: $ ps aux | grep raccess | grep -v grep raccess 2822 0.0 1.6 6384 4132 ? Ss 20:20 0:00 /lib/systemd/systemd --user raccess 2823 0.0 0.4 7316 1096 ? S 20:20 0:00 (sd-pam) And here's an output of lsof -u raccess: https://pbin.cf/444b2d29 This is happening on two servers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1426362 Title: logind session files fill up /run space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd-shim/+bug/1426362/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
