Upon investigating further I now suspect it is systemd-logind which causes the problem. As can be seen in auth.log, the system-logind tries to start a new session every second for an unknown reason. In /var/log/syslog I see corresponding messages like this: Oct 27 07:42:39 h2... systemd[19421]: Startup finished in 5ms. Oct 27 07:42:39 h2... systemd[19421]: Stopped target Default.
