<para>Note that for each unit making use of this option a PAM session handler process will be maintained as
part of the unit and stays around as long as the unit is active, to ensure that appropriate actions can be
taken when the unit and hence the PAM session terminates. This process is named <literal>(sd-pam)</literal> and
is an immediate child process of the unit's main process.</para></listitem>
