Logindconf
Logindconf refers to the configuration file used by systemd-logind, the system service responsible for managing user logins, sessions, and seats on systemd-based Linux systems. The file is commonly named logind.conf and is read at startup, with local overrides allowed through drop-in files in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d. The packaged defaults live under /usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf or /lib/systemd/logind.conf, depending on the distribution.
Format and scope: logind.conf uses an INI-like syntax with sections such as [Login] and [SeatDefaults]. Each setting
Common settings: KillUserProcesses determines whether user processes are terminated on logout; RemoveIPC controls removal of IPC
Override and application: For customization, administrators place .conf files in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/ to override or extend settings.
Notes: logind.conf is central to system-wide login and session management but does not replace user authentication
