ssh(1) is inaccurate

Hi,

the man page an docs of ssh client say
"If command is specified, it is executed on the remote host instead of a
login shell."

But afaik this is not quite accurate. The login shell is always started.
But if a command is specified it runs that command instead of just
opening an interactive setting.

So if a user has /dev/false as login shell, you cannot run a command on
that host via ssh, because it tries to run "/dev/false <command>" or
something like that.

Yours
  David
