Hello,
I'm afraid that the admin user does need to be given the login
priveledge to be able to ssh in (add admin to the login setion in
etc/vsd/priv). You can change this if you wish by (as root) editing the
/etc/pam.d/ssd file and on the line that says:
auth required /lib/security/pam_vsd.so priv=login
and change it to:
auth required /lib/security/pam_vsd.so priv=telnet
You are right in thinking that yes, the admin user does need login
priveledge to be able to grant the telnet priveledge to other users.
Damion.
