Public bug reported:
Hi,
here is how to reproduce this error:
1. log in to the root account with ssh
2. run "su - some_user_account"
Here is what I see in the logs:
Feb 28 15:21:45 xeelee su[9843]: Successful su for bonnaudl by root
Feb 28 15:21:45 xeelee su[9843]: + /dev/pts/10 root:bonnaudl
Feb 28 15:21:45 xeelee su[9843]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user
bonnaudl by root(uid=0)
Feb 28 15:21:45 xeelee su[9843]: pam_systemd(su:session): Cannot create
session: Already running in a session
Feb 28 15:21:48 xeelee su[9843]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user
bonnaudl
In another usage scenario of "su -" there is no error message and the
creation of a new session:
