[systemd-devel] user sessions and remote logins

 Ah yes, I see that I had "UsePAM no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Thanks! I
wouldn't ask for assistance with sshd configuration on this mailing
list, but thought I had misunderstood systemd-logind. 

Once "UsePAM yes" is inserted in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and ssh.service is
restarted, password logins are still refused, but public-key login
results in a new session with appropriate cookie but not seat, which is
what I would have expected. 

Thanks, 

Alison
