dumb_runtime_dir

Creates an XDG_RUNTIME_DIR directory on login per the freedesktop.org base directory spec. Flaunts the spec and never removes it, even after last logout. This keeps things simple and predictable.

The user is responsible for ensuring that the RUNTIME_DIR_PARENT directory (/run/user by default) exists and is only writable by root.

PAM configuration

To enable the pam module, add the following recommended configuration to /etc/pam.d/system-login:

session		optional	pam_dumb_runtime_dir.so

See also pam.conf(5).
