elogind stops incrementing session ID after some uptime

elogind or audit login session ID bug?

[pcmoore]

The audit session ID is incremented whenever a valid UID is successfully written to "/proc/self/loginuid", see audit_set_loginuid() and proc_loginuid_write() in the Linux Kernel sources for more information. Generally this is handled at login via the "pam_loginuid" PAM module, I suggest you start there to figure out what might be going wrong as the kernel code hasn't changed in some time and there are no widespread reports of breakages.

Update

[pcmoore]

It's generally considered a good idea to copy the relevant information into the GH issue. You can still provide a link to the external source, but it's helpful if all of the relevant information is contained within the GH issue itself.

Looking quickly at the external issue, it looks like this issue has been resolved as a configuration issue so I'm going to close this out. If you believe this is still an issue with the kernel please feel free to re-open the issue or leave an additional comment and I can re-open it.

Sorry, I didn't want to duplicate but I will try to keep it in mind next time (if any).

For now it really seems like an elogind issue, thanks for your patience.
