Package: openssh-server Version: 1:9.1p1-1 Severity: minor The "LOGIN PROCESS" section of the sshd(8) man page starts with "When a user successfully logs in", but this is unclear. For instance, at step 3: "Checks /etc/nologin; if it exists, prints contents and quits (unless root)." But if it quits, why would this be considered as a successful login?
And what about the /etc/pam.d/sshd file provided by openssh-server? Where is it involved? -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') merged-usr: no Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.129 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.80 ii init-system-helpers 1.64 ii libaudit1 1:3.0.7-1.1+b2 ii libc6 2.36-6 ii libcom-err2 1.46.6~rc1-1+b1 ii libcrypt1 1:4.4.33-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.20.1-1 ii libkrb5-3 1.20.1-1 ii libpam-modules 1.5.2-5 ii libpam-runtime 1.5.2-5 ii libpam0g 1.5.2-5 ii libselinux1 3.4-1+b4 ii libssl3 3.0.7-1 ii libsystemd0 252.4-1 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-31 ii openssh-client 1:9.1p1-1 ii openssh-sftp-server 1:9.1p1-1 ii procps 2:4.0.2-3 ii runit-helper 2.15.0 ii sysvinit-utils [lsb-base] 3.06-2 ii ucf 3.0043 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.13.dfsg-1 Versions of packages openssh-server recommends: ii libpam-systemd [logind] 252.4-1 ii ncurses-term 6.3+20220423-2 ii xauth 1:1.1.1-1 Versions of packages openssh-server suggests: pn molly-guard <none> pn monkeysphere <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> pn ufw <none> -- debconf information excluded -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
