openssh unix dev - Nov 2008 - 1 command ssh session

I wrote a patch to bash to log commands.. Now when I run the following
command

ssh user at hostname.com w

It never seems to spawn a bash session. Is there some ssh internal shell
that handles commands getting passed in like this?

Thanks
Mike

No, it simply exec's it from the PATH/env given to the SSHD.  There's an
option to force it to init a shell or something like that if you want (or 
for some reason need) the overhead.  I forget what it is but I'm sure 
someone here can enlighten.

People can just use another shell and evade begin logged.

Generally a shell is spawned, otherwise something like

	ssh localhost "ls ."

would try to execute the program "ls ." instead of "ls" with
"." as
argument.
