since i got no reply,so i try to find at redat pam email list, and find article below, i use patch at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=493294&group_id=6663&atid=106663 to mdk 8.1's pam and it works fine now. maybe 8.2 or cooker can fix too. ps: switch pam_limits and pam_unix didn't work for me. must patch.. pam_limits maxlogins count -Out by one Cristian Gafton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon, 1 Apr 2002 23:49:42 -0500 (EST) * Previous message: Maybe a newbie question. * Next message: Problem on pam-0.74-39 * Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] On Sat, 30 Mar 2002, Andrew Morgan wrote: > Michael wrote: > > Two q's from me: > > 1) > > pam_limits module appears to be out by one for certain authentication > > methods -- In particular ssh -- Example, if I set maxlogins for a user > > of 1, the user is allowed 2 logins, the third fails.
