I have tried to get my head around this but I couldn't find how to 
proceed, i.e. how to kill of the session.

I can get the CGroup and session scope with "systemctl status 
<mainpid>"; but I still can't figure out what to stop then. So how can I 
finish this "spawned off" session - the one that started from a 
"PAMName=login" option in the service file?

Sorry if it's a dumb question. Any links to documentation are fine, too.

Best regards,

Valentijn
