Subject: man: add a note about $XDG_SEAT and $XDG_VTNR to pam_systemd(8)
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac1936363db2bf6284d225ab6f221e5e9b25470b;p=elogind.git

man: add a note about $XDG_SEAT and $XDG_VTNR to pam_systemd(8)

Issue #6499 requests that a mention that those varibles can be set in the
environment is added. But the man page already says that. There isn't much
detail, but a man page does not need to and in this case should not include
all the details. Instead a note is added that those vars can be derived from
$DISPLAY.

Closes #6499.
