This means each session that is created leaks two file descriptors eventually leading to the system stopping it from creating new pipes. [Test Case] 1. Start LightDM 2. Check how many pipes are open # lsof -p {lightdm_pid} | grep FIFO | wc -l 3. Create sessions by either cycling between users in Unity Greeter or logging in and out 4. Check how many pipes exist using step 2. Expected result: No more pipes should be open Observed result: Many pipes remain open [Regression Potential] Low. Fix is to close pipes when finished with them. Tested with regression tests.
