Hi,
As you can see on bug #729674 and #729877, when running with a kernel without
cgroup support, CreateSession() fails on logind. The problem is that logind
looks for /proc/$pid/cgroup, which is missing (though /proc/$pid exists) and it
confusingly returns ESRCH.
I don't know if logind requires a kernel with cgroups to create sessions, but if
that's not possible, at least a better error message would be nice, or maybe
logind should check for this at init and exit.
Cheers,
Emilio

At this point, a kernel without cgroups support is extremely uncommon.
I'm not sure anymore if it's worth complicating the code / maintainer
scripts to add explicit checks for this. So I'm going to close this bug
report at this point.
If someone would provide a clean and non-intrusive patch, I'd we willing
to review it though.
In that case, please reopen the bug report.
Regards,
Michael
