[TW] SSH not creating user session

[walddys]

Hello,
TW - Latest Snapshot.

I just did a fresh install in a server and found that loging to the user from SSH is not creating the session nor dbus, so when trying to work with container, systemd, and loginctl appear the user is not existent.

What it must happens is:

• When connecting through ssh to the machine, a XDG_RUNTIME or user-slice session must be started, which is not happening.

loginctl:

systemd:

podman:

Looking into what service exist:

my sshd_config:

Port 22
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

Most your screenshots are unreadable. Never post text as pictures. You know how to properly do it.

@walddys

my sshd_config:

Where this file is located?

Anyway, I do not see UsePAM in this file. Session is created by pam_systemd module.

[walddys]

The file is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d.

I didn’t add UsePAM, because is added in the default config, so, this config only take priority over the params I declared.

But looking into
sshd -T, found that is set not UsePam, which not have sense because, in the config I don’t touch UsePam.

Set UsePam Yes, and is working.

Thanks for the help @arvidjaar, and in the future would paste correctly the logs test.

Now the systemctl have:
