It's some years since I wrote that... There was also some discussion on
debian lists at the time. I'm still not very fond of PAM, and I think it
is unfortunate if its use is mandatory on debian. Nevertheless, if you
look at the code intended to become lsh-3.0, it would be a bit more
reasonable to add real PAM support, since the user authentication will
run as a spearate process (lshd-userauth), which can even use blocking
i/o. But that's not going to happen soon, so it's of little help for the
debian package of current lsh.

That somewhat crude hack is only for verifying passwords against PAM.

You're right. It doesn't do anything related to the state of login
sessions.
