openssh unix dev - May 2001 - Problem with OpenSSH with UseLogin.. AGAIN!!!

Hello,

By the 26th of May I will have been waiting for response for 17 days.
I have posted this mail at 9 May 2001 20:38:58 and still this bug is not
fixed and AFAIK no one have answered to this mail. I have to ask: why? ;-)

---------- My OLD message ----------
Hello,

I have just discoverd that ssh -T does not work with servers which have
UseLogin option enabled. This happends becouse /bin/login can not work if
there is no tty. To correct this, it is necessary to add:

options.use_login = 0;

at the top of the "do_exec_no_pty" function from the
"session.c" file.

Best regards,

Its not a bug, its a feature :-)  Seriously, if UseLogin is selected
then the sys-admin has dictated that all authentictions must pass though
/bin/login - usually for local secuirty reasons.  Disabling this kind of
defeats the purpose of the option.

no, this is not true.

use_login is ignored if you specify commands.
