A Session is a collection of ProcessGroup~s. A newly created process joins the session of its creator. In normal operation the login shell creates a new session and all processes are members of that session. The login shell is the Session Leader.

Lets take a look at the SID's (Session ID's) of processes belonging to two separate ssh sessions on the same machine.
