[Bug 1727243] [NEW] pam_systemd

Wed Oct 25 08:50:58 UTC 2017

Public bug reported:

my auth.log is full of messages like below.
The 79.247.. is my own address and there seems to be something which tries to reconnect every other second although I am already in a running session.
What is going on here?
