- @Panki - I beg to differ. Imagine (as in my previous employer) 1000's of linux VM instances, dozens of ops staff, possibly hundreds of automated ssh jobs - it adds up. I admit that for me on my home setup, it's just an untidiness; a lack of minimalism. As a Unix greybeard, I hate that and I'm suspicious of what these youngsters are doing with systemd!wef– wef2021-07-03 00:12:53 +00:00Commented Jul 3, 2021 at 0:12
- 1@steeldriver - thanks for the useful link which led me to remove the pam_systemd.so line from /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Now I can log in without the cruft. Next, I need to find out how to prepare such a login for a GUI session - should I want one!! Running 'systemd --user' doesn't do it.wef– wef2021-07-03 00:38:33 +00:00Commented Jul 3, 2021 at 0:38

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
