Public bug reported:
Loïc Minier has reported that when using .hushlogin together with the
latest pam_motd in karmic, an ssh to his system does not display the
legal notice but does create the flag file in his home directory.
The reason for this appears to be that openssh honors .hushlogin, but
does not notify PAM that messages should be suppressed. If openssh were
passing the PAM_SILENT flag to the function calls in this case
(pam_open_session in particular, but the flag applies to the other
application function calls as well), pam_motd would know to be a no-op
instead of thinking the messages had been passed to the user.
