>Description:
	After upgrading to 4.6.1, an attempt to ssh into the machine (ssh localhost) is met with problems.
	When you enter an incorrect skey password, a permission denied error is displayed as it should and the skey sequence number stays the sanme. When a CORRECT skey password is entered, permission is denied and the skey sequence number is DECREMENTED. I'm using the default pam.conf from the 4.6.1 p7 install. (Yes I ran mergemaster, yes I rebooted) This presents a problem because you cannot use skey for ssh logins and the sequence # will continue to decrement until it goes negative. Yes, it goes down to '-1'. This may or may not be another problem. Logins can still be made with your normal password, but that's not useful if you're using a system that logs keystrokes.

>How-To-Repeat:
	run keyinit
	run key
	attempt to ssh into the machine


cravey:~ $ ssh localhost
s/key 94 ww09087
Password:
Permission denied, please try again.
s/key 93 ww09087
Password:
Permission denied, please try again.
s/key 92 ww09087
Password:
cravey@localhost's password:

>Fix:
	Use telnet, but that kindof defeats the whole purpose, doesn't it.
