Package: libpam-ssh
Version: 1.91.0-9.3
Severity: normal

Due to bugs 491214 and 491107, udev rules stopped working on many
systems, which led to incorrect permissions on many devices.  In
particular, /dev/random and /dev/urandom became mode 0660, making them
unreadable by most programs.  This prevented me from logging in as a
user; I received a mysterious error message from login with an
inscrutable error code.  I could, however, log in as root.  I ran
login under strace, and it appeared that libpam-ssh caused this
failure; this would explain why I could log in as root (who doesn't
have any SSH keys).

libpam-ssh should not break the ability to log in just because it
can't start correctly.  I have libpam-ssh set up as "auth optional
pam_ssh.so use_first_pass".
