Because not all OSes have login.access, openssh runs on many platforms like linux which has no login.access. Does openbsd have a login.access? Since that is it's native os then that gives even more reason. And, for security reasons openssh uses it's own login procedure and doesn't trust the systems login command. By adding UseLogin true, it will use the system login command which, of course, obeys all the system policies like login.allow. > Thanks. > Lou > -- > Louis LeBlanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Fully Funded Hobbyist, KeySlapper Extrordinaire :) > http://www.keyslapper.org ???? > > Recursion n.: > See Recursion. > -- Random Shack Data Processing Dictionary > _______________________________________________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > > > !DSPAM:40548205229492008732744! > -- I sense much NT in you.
