In this way the session modules (in /etc/pam.d) are not activated. This is espacially anoying if you use pam_limits.so to set rlimits. Every user could cirrcumvent them easily by calling ssh in this way: ssh user@server /bin/sh I do not know if this issue has been disscused before and if this behavior is not alright ..... cu Christian [End forwarded message] -- Joachim Blaabjerg styx@mailbox.as www.SuxOS.org
