This is not a problem, this mechanism is meant to allow several sessions to use the same agent. What is not normal is that the flag file was not removed: I suspect an accident and/or any confusions as it happens at migration time. > > May I suggest adding a few more debug outputs centered around starting > up the agent?

The leftover file is a flag file (see above). How do you suggest to decide whether or not an agent was indeed launched by pam_ssh but not any other process ? > > (Anyway, the issue is solved for me; maybe demote it to wishlist for > the improved checks?) I guess that we can close it. Note that you may want to launch the pam_tmpdir module before pam_ssh as pam_ssh honours TMPDIR. > > Thanks a lot for your time, > Cheers, Jerome - -- Jerome BENOIT | calculus+at-rezozer^dot*net https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=calcu...@rezozer.net AE28 AE15 710D FF1D 87E5 A762 3F92 19A6 7F36 C68B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQQcBAEBCgAGBQJXbUb6AAoJED+SGaZ/NsaLmikf/jllFGWubF0q/pt/RhGoQImO WEd+dgaOwgJPIGJZMGheBNh0Qs5QwivNdX+y6vzmEsvoG6d18rzi44Z8oC5DPm38 TT++4wwHekbrJ/fhYgf6MRFZ13bWRapz7mqyc0kG6vYQtRHcbkGnRoQuhPRBbQiB 4DtyPrV5g2kM4uyG8H9OGv9TGdAcTcyzmnvapJJeYA8s59c57wV8n1Xlpb6lYXlM reRsl13DuVEfcThi0jGPiYgma1D5/q+fP2B6I0qAZfLf6c/0lP3eYgFbb5/jSVaG l5WLeOcxEMdj8XsKoGzzHL5s5hb86j35zQ015wl7YU6g+Ao763chI652ZI4XIf2k 6UkXkaQDX3vuJq0haBOpAsmfrUwBmPtvYmSK20GhuRJc8iJ47qFow1l7fVL3h6yw Uhy1g7keJuIMOYHPkbhSGsqdipo9jnMYapEj9OYQbFgywEyQQkyjLVUSCzk96CoF 1oVdV5TlzLnh2oas3Jv0+u9mA05cQ3aoExTbYVh3otB8XzHVXQBODblCMvWNcFm4 +lPtdjZhNlCYvtiCTsbN3F8XoSQHLIYbSnmz2U044lTiJS8gz4SiTyHncLqwGDrl IBdnGE15ctkNqZfUDAzfO+wagYDwQfw7OMYEEYYstPjeElY4GhydLZAoP25kWZdP +MjjRcb4tSKLmLeTXXLg4GRI7smOrXfJGi4qPzaza03oJkdciBmQeISdJGftk9Xh c20fXXrtnLbMXe3OqvET4uEEYIShU+bD0ZEOwb8L4R1TzqbXTaDQ3PxvFufeX7TD g7U4aKKZxV+essWLuVC8SzFGXwOZGdINcWXd6uZHAvIi1+MtJsXrr0dphAXd5uFt Kyf0hg19YMTtRqk2eB2bgcUXvHrCh8OnnuogCLn5UzB6KZTkoRzaE5Q+zbSJ0CV8 Ij1je8dpGNnMT6QkrSX5llbsaeKuMaSwrryZzUr5UJk4ST8nFQPxLXDx91iSSszH IxC54EBHEo2ZLWBY9pp/+eINoAHn8wtg4ZM0s8kxRc8tMUei3uiZrQzrvKZXPWRL 8prLcTIxetzgDPZKndBmLlvjkPLMSUTbnOq+pmlg/TiGwPZW4ONg3hDk/BsC3HFV 0VqKNGQkbWP8pnCU3bivGkx68d4TdSbLS1o+DzFf7Dn71G8Pg66OUsXpGoUUnXww ba7P+QIvOM+OUjPCbA0WceARkYsMpZjgdYgyPcDZ0JwdyI62cnsRARTrVSQ4wb0C +p0i69Yp426w4BC8zjgNVTAzmxYXJh1PV81Hr1rHDfGK1JZ+cc8daX4ovI5/2pzi 4FjlazpktKiH5zJKAWANi0FIuncA/vD1HgkZ3OOBfgxQFg02i8bZNt3LTSq3YKg= =wxBw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
