Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ldm

Using Ubuntu 8.04.2 / ldm 5.0.40~bzr20080212-0ubuntu4

As noted in Debian bug #471793:

"the open event is executed as user root, while the close event is
executed as the non-privileged user logging in"

This affects pam modules such as pam mount, where when logging out, a
users shares fail to unmount because the non-privileged user can't
unmount. At least I think this is why.

Case: User logs into a thin client. Remote is mounted using pam_mount.
User logs out, pam_mount attempts to unmount the share, share fails to
unmount. lock file is left in /var/run/pam_mount.

This does not happen when logging in directly to the machine, or via
SSH. Only when logging in on a thin client via ldm.

** Affects: ldm (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

-- 
ldm seems to handle pam events on logout as non-root.
