The operative phrase here is "... to prevent successful authentication." If you are using ssh with key-based authentication, then authentication with the passwd database doesn't enter into it. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=47541 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
