This is something that's built into Systemd and we don't touch that in BlueOnyx. Basically it's like this: If a user has some form of shell access and logs in for the first time, then Systemd automatically creates a Systemd Unit File to handle the current (and future) shell accesses of that user. Semantically this is not entirely correct, as they all use the same Unit-File:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/user at .service

It's just aliased internally by Systemd to match all users that have shell access and have used it at least once.
