+
+                <para><filename>systemd-logind</filename> is a system
+                service that manages user logins. It is responsible
+                for: keeping track of users and sessions, their
+                processes and their idle state; creating control
+                groups for user processes; provide PolicyKit-based
+                access for users to operations such as system shutdown
+                or sleep; implementing a shutdown/sleep inhibition
+                logic for applications; handling of power/sleep
+                hardware keys; multi-seat management; session switch
+                management; device access management for users;
+                automatic spawning of text logins (gettys) and user
+                runtime directory management.
