Re:Why Did ArchLinux Embrace Systemd? (2016) by aidenn0 on Wednesday October 23, 2019 @12:33PM (#21336294)
Yeah, default configuration of systemd-logind is to prevent network access. This means if you use e.g. NIS authentication weird things happen.

Weird as in 3 minutes after someone SSHd into my workstation, X11 restarted. Until I tracked it down to a default systemd configuration I thought I was going insane.

Beyond the default configuration, which is somewhat defensible as NIS is probably not a typical case, it really bothers me that if someone else's login process has issues, everybody's logins get killed.
