[parisc-linux] unable to login with ssh , privsep and tcp wrappers

[Dimitris Zilaskos]

 	Hello


I am running debian/unstable on a couple of 715/33 boxes . I use
dist-update once a week . Sometime the last 2-3 months after an apt-get i
was unable to login to  the system vi ssh . The authentication was
successfull but the connection was closed immediately after. The log in
the parisc box was :

Jan 23 15:41:28 system sshd[3582]: Accepted publickey for foo from
1.2.3.4 port 55740 ssh2
Jan 23 15:41:28 system ssh(pam_unix)[3584]: session opened for user foo
by (uid=1000)
Jan 23 15:41:28 system pam_limits[3584]: setrlimit limit #3 to
soft=8388608, hard=-1 failed: Operation not permitted; uid=1000 euid=1000
Jan 23 15:41:28 system pam_limits[3584]: setrlimit limit #7 to soft=-1,
hard=-1 failed: Operation not permitted; uid=1000 euid=1000
Jan 23 15:41:28 system sshd[3584]: fatal: PAM session setup failed[6]:
Permission denied


 I first got around the problem by disabling privilage separation in
sshd_conf . PAM was always disabled there . Today I just realized that the
problem  goes way too if I remove all the entries I have in
/etc/hosts.allow . I can then enable PrivSep again .
	I dont see the same behaviour in an Debian 3.0 i386 box , but they
seem to have quiet different pam .

	Is this a feature or a bug ?


 Best regards ,
