Followup-For: Bug #908293
Dear Maintainer,
I noticed in passing that the accounts-daemon process is consuming 99%+ of
one
of my processors, on a long-term ongoing basis, and neither restarts (via
systemctl) nor reboots seem to be curbing its enthusiasm.
I'm responding to the original bug report, although that was for an earlier
version, as the symptoms seem to largely mirror mine.
Thanks,

Apparently, this also triggering autodir daemon that I use on our servers
extensively since years. Recently, I had to install x2go/vnc and mate on
several boxes to allow people to use a DE during covid‐19 lockdown here, and
autodir randomly starts to log tons of messages such:
gen 29 09:21:31 YYYYY autodir[42811]: [autohome] warning: no user found with
name XXXXXX.tiff
gen 29 09:21:31 YYYYY autodir[42811]: [autohome] alert: module autohome failed
on XXXXXX.tiff

It seems directly due to the new services installed. XXXXX is generally an
already logged user.
Of course that stops after restarting the autodir daemon, but high cpu times
appear for accounts-daemon, systemd-logd (well, of course) and caja. I could
probably mitigate the issue in autodir by stopping the continuous reporting,
but there's something strange in the caja/accounts-daemon or both, not sure.
The whole thing is quite annoying...
