> remote login, start screen, ctl-A d (detach), log out, log back in, screen -r (resume)

I just tried it on a fully up-to-date CentOS 8 box (which uses systemd), and it worked perfectly fine: after logging back in through ssh, `screen -r` restored the screen session as expected.

From what I have read, that screen session would only be killed if I had set KillUserProcesses=yes on /etc/systemd/logind.conf, which is not the default.

It is the default.

This behavior is controlled by the KillUserProcesses= setting in logind.conf, and the previous default of "no" is now changed to "yes".

This is one of those fun situations where everyone's right.

The upstream default has changed, but CentOS still uses the old default.

Almost every distro I know turns this option off by default, including Arch, NixOS and Debian (the last one I am not sure).

It defaults to "no" on Debian 10. Maybe Fedora changed the default?

Switching to CentOS in order to use screen is not an appealing option, and the config appears not to work on my current distro (that might be my poor testing, but it's certainly not the default anyhow.)

I understand Slackware still lacks systemd, so maybe that's a better choice for me :)

Please submit a bug report if the option doesn't work for you.
