Session management is necessary for tracking and giving rights to certain users. For a functional setup install both `elogind` and `turnstile` and enable their corresponding services.
``` shell-session
root@host:~# emerge -av elogind turnstile
root@host:~# rc-update add elogind boot
2025-01-13 01:15:50 +01:00
root@host:~# rc-update add turnstiled
2025-01-13 01:09:14 +01:00
```
Then configure `pam` to allow them to track the user:
``` shell title="/etc/pam.d/system-login"
...
session optional pam_elogind.so
session optional pam_turnstile.so
```
When a user logs in it should now be able to start a graphical session. This should be done with:
``` shell-session
user@host:~$ dbus-run-session -- < window_manager >
```
