// Package sd_login TODO
//
// The login manager manages 4 basic object types
//
//  - machine: A container or virtual machine
//
//  - seat: A set of hardware devices for a workspace; ie a screen
//    and keyboard
//
//  - session: A login session; tied to 0 or 1 seats (0 for things
//    like SSH login)
//
//  - user: Keeps track of logged in users; that is, users with 1 or
//    more sessions
//
// TODO: why are machines part of this?
//
//  - pid: A process may belong to a session, or directly to a user if
//    it is not part of a session.  This "belonging" is separate
//    accounting by the login manager; it is NOT the same as the
//    EUID/RUID.
//
//  - peer: A peer is a process on the other end of a AF_UNIX socket.
