[Cialug] systemctl user ; environment variables

[Shane Nehring]

The -i is probably what's doing it, as that'd go through the whole login

I'm not sure why the gdm prompt isn't doing that as well, it may be a pam
configuration thing. pam_sss might not be in the session section for that
stack,  but may be for the sudo one.
