+Subject: [PATCH] check_users: Use sd_get_uids instead of sd_get_session
+
+Previously check_users in combination with systemd used
+sd_get_sessions (3) to aquire the number of users, probably
+with the idea that every users opens a session.
+Turns out, that a user can have multiple sessions and we only really
+want to know how many users there are.
+
+This commit changes to sd_get_uids (3) to achieve that target.
