I've got a query regarding /etc/login.access. Here's my copy of the file : setantae@shaft setantae$ cat /etc/login.access -:ALL EXCEPT wheel:console ## This doesn't let users in for some reason -:ALL EXCEPT wheel users:ALL Why doesn't the last line let people in the users group log in ? They all receive the ``Sorry, you are not allowed to connect'' message. Everyone is logging in via ssh(1). The relevant part of the manpage is : Only groups are matched in which users are explicitly listed: the program does not look at a user's primary group id value. So I know I'm seeing expected behaviour, but this is a really horrible restriction - is there any reason for this ? Any insight would be appreciated, and if anyone fancies patching login(1) that would be cool too ;) Ceri -- I probably wouldn't like you. Really. I really probably wouldn't like you.
