<p>With systemd-225, when I login to a host from the console or any text VT, 'loginctl list-sessions' and 'echo $XDG_SESSION_COOKIE' prints a long hash. Each VT login creates a new session.</p>
<p>When I ssh into the same host from a remote, 'loginctl list-sessions' shows that no new session is created, and XDG_SESSION_COOKIE variable is unset. </p>
<p>Why are these two cases treated differently? After reading</p>

<p>I expected them to be the same. I'm not claiming that there's a bug, just realizing that I don't understand how the sessions work.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
