RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tom Crider 2019-08-23 21:13:07 UTC
Description of problem:
Running 'systemctl isolate' on any target disconnects any active sessions, including sending signal 15 to ssh sessions from other users.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

In RHEL 7.6 + RHEL 7.7
systemd.x86_64 0:219-67.el7_7.1
systemd-sysv.x86_64 0:219-67.el7_7.1           
systemd-libs.x86_64 0:219-67.el7_7.1
libgudev1.x86_64 0:219-67.el7_7.1

In RHEL 7.7 you must also downgrade:
systemd-python.x86_64 0:219-67.el7_7.1

How reproducible:

Consistently

Steps to Reproduce:

In a fresh RHEL 7.6 VM: 
1) run # yum update
2) create test accounts.
3) login to all sessions and a root session via ssh in multiple terminals
4) In the root terminal run # systemctl isolate multi-user.target 
5) Watch everyone get disconnected.

Actual results:

Test session 1:

$ ssh test1.122.4
test1.122.4's password: 

After issuing isolate on root session:

[test1@localhost ~]$ Connection to 192.168.122.4 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.122.4 closed.

Test session 2:

$ ssh test2.122.4
test2.122.4's password: 

After issuing isolate on root session:

[test2@localhost ~]$ Connection to 192.168.122.4 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.122.4 closed.

Root Session:

$ ssh root.122.4
root.122.4's password: 
Last login: Fri Aug 23 16:52:31 2019 from gateway

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl isolate multi-user.target
Connection to 192.168.122.4 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.122.4 closed.

Expected results:

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl isolate multi-user.target
[root@localhost ~]# 

(no session disconnects)

Additional info:

Running the following to downgrade packages resolves the issue as a workaround:

RHEL 7.6:
# yum downgrade systemd systemd-sysv systemd-libs libgudev1

RHEL 7.7:
# yum downgrade systemd systemd-sysv systemd-libs libgudev1 systemd-python
