Previously, it was thought that only the user in question needed to be taken into account for utmp, but this is not correct. Sometimes, a USER_PROCESS would be recorded for one user in a tty then a short while later is it followed by another USER_PROCESS for another user in the same tty. No LOGIN_PROCESS with a null user is neccesarily recorded. Without taking this into account, there was a bug in the logic and a directory could mistakenly be deleted (or not deleted).
pam_rundir: Provide user runtime directory
pam_rundir is a PAM module that can be used to provide user runtime directory, as described in the XDG Base Directory Specification.
The directory will be created on login (open session) and removed on logout
(close session), and its full path made available in an environment variable,
usually $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
This fork contains some changes of the original implementation for Artix Linux.
