Because ssh doesn't refer to that file. You can probably make it check the file by adding something like "auth requisite pam_securetty.so" to /etc/pam.d/ssh (note that's completely untested so don't try it remotely of course). If you do try it let us know how it works out. -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
