Keeping track of users and sessions, their processes and their idle state\&. This is implemented by allocating a systemd slice unit for each user below
user\&.slice, and a scope unit below it for each concurrent session of a user\&. Also, a per\-user service manager is started as system service instance of
user@\&.service
for each logged in user\&.

Generating and managing session IDs\&. If auditing is available and an audit session ID is already set for a session, then this ID is reused as the session ID\&. Otherwise, an independent session counter is used\&.

PAM module\&.

See

See
\fBsd-login\fR(3)

If you are interested in writing a display manager that makes use of logind, please have look at
