While this is true, it seems that device permissions are actually removed correctly. I determined this by:

Logging in on tty6.
Successfully using the sound card (with aplay, if that matters).
Logging out from tty6.
Logging in with the same user via ssh.
Unsuccessfully using the sound card (aplay errors, saying that it can not find the card). Using start-stop-daemon to change to the user in question (does not go through PAM)
Same error as with ssh

I did not log in with that user at all before that time, and no open sessions existed on the system for that user except for those specified. Is there anything wrong with that method, and can you reproduce my results Michael?

So what other risks are there if it is stuck in this "closing" state (assuming that I did not make a mistake in my above determination)?

On the subject of fixing the issue, my only guess is that since the user@.service start failed, it might be getting hung up on shutdown, you know? I can not come up with anything better, since nothing stuck out on a short peruse of systemd/src/login/, and logind is not emitting any other error messages for me (are you getting anything else, Michael).

So again, I would appreciate if we determined for sure if this bug is causing security issues or other large concerns.

Thanks a ton,
