| Summary | 0008767: Systemd User Support is Broken on Delivery | ||||||||||||
| Description | I have a freshly-installed CentOS 7.1 node (zero modifications made to it post-installer) with a user account added. When logging in to the machine in-person (GDM workflow), I attempt to list the status of systemd units for my user: $ systemctl --user status Failed to issue method call: Process /bin/false exited with status 1 | ||||||||||||
| Additional Information | It appears that PAM has been configured correctly out-of-the-box to start the systemd-logind service to manage the user sessions. | ||||||||||||

As a start, from what I can tell, support for user units (being started from logind and PAM) was explicitly removed by Harald Hoyer in commit 572a44c507ecd5e7dee4fd5958e7d5aaa3466e6f (https://goo.gl/K1IDbh) or Lukas Nykryn in issue 1019738. Unfortunately I do not have permission to view the latter issue's content, so I can't trace the rationale for this. In any case, I can rebuild the RPM with patch 200 disabled (thereby re-adding support for user units), but it appears that control groups are somehow interfering: """ # systemctl status user@1000.service user@1000.service - User Manager for 1000 Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/user@.service; static) Active: inactive (dead) Jun 01 00:16:56 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting User Manager for 1000...

Basically we don't know if systemd --user will stay in systemd as is right now. So we have decided to disable it completely so we will not hit regression in future versions of centos. |

The ability to run services with their startup as an unprivileged user is one of the advantages of systemd. Basically, removing the according support would force a user to install a redundant software (such as supervisors) and / or use inferior means (such as cron's @reboot). |

So you will need to take it to bugzilla.redhat.com and persuade RH to change this. CentOS will inherit all changes automatically. |

Hi, Year later - I'm hitting the same issue with 7.3. Has there been any progress with this? |

I too would like to see an update of this issue. |

I am sorry, but we don't plan to provide --user in el7. We will revisit this issue with next major version of centos/rhel. |
