Oh, that's right, openssh doesn't even use login. I think there is an option to enable openssh to invoke login instead of doing it own thing but it's not default. I think it's for security reasons, they have more control over the login process that way, but that doesn't mean the login program itself is insecure. > > -- > Anthony > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- I sense much NT in you.
