When a user log in using the ldm version in Etch, the /var/run/utmp file isn't updated and the user fail to show up as logged in. This affect systems that check for logged in users, like the killer package. I found a solution, which is to add -t to the ssh argument list. See <URL:http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2008/06/msg00022.html> for background information. Looking at ldm version 2:2.0.6-1, I see that this is already done for the C version of ldm. Please do this for ldm in Etch too, as it confuses syadmins and make it harder to know if a machine is unused or not. Here is a patch to solve it. --- /tmp/ldm 2008-06-11 16:01:39.042442801 +0200 +++ /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/ldm 2008-06-11 15:56:53.000000000 +0200 @@ -155,7 +155,7 @@ os.environ['LDM_ASKPASS_FD'] = str(pipe_read) os.environ['SSH_ASKPASS'] = '/usr/lib/ltsp/ldm-askpass' - ssh_opts = ['-v', + ssh_opts = ['-v', '-t', '-c', 'blowfish-cbc,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc'] # Edited by Gideon Romm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Symbio Technologies) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
