[Samba] pam_systemd(samba:session): Failed to create session: No such file or directory

[Alex]

Hello,

There's a file server running CentOS 7 with packaged Samba:
# rpm -qi samba
Name        : samba
Epoch       : 0
Version     : 4.10.4
Release     : 11.el7_8
Architecture: x86_64
...
Source RPM  : samba-4.10.4-11.el7_8.src.rpm
Build Date  : Tue 12 May 2020 04:31:13 PM UTC
...
Packager    : CentOS BuildSystem <http://bugs.centos.org>

When a user opens a file share, there's an error coming up in the syslog (however,
it doesn't affect user's ability to open the share):
Jun 23 10:14:37 filer-1 smbd[4572]: pam_systemd(samba:session): pam-systemd initializing

Here is the pam settings for samba:
# cat /etc/pam.d/samba
#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     pam_nologin.so
auth       include      password-auth
account    include      password-auth
session    include      password-auth
password   include      password-auth

# cat /etc/pam.d/password-auth
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
...
session     optional      pam_keyinit.so revoke
session     required      pam_limits.so
-session     optional      pam_systemd.so debug
session     [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid
session     required      pam_unix.so

I tried strace samba processes but didn't find anything appropriate. Stracing
systemd-logind displays:

...

Any ideas how to get that fixed?
