Description Tony Finch 2002-04-24 15:10:01 UTC
sshd uses the "default" login class for users with uid=0 instead of
the "root" login class when setting up the user's session.

Fix: 

It isn't clear to me whether the bug is entirely in sshd or whether
some of the problem lies in libutil.

Only login_getpwclass does the special handling of uid=0 users. This
is a wart since none of the rest of the (low-level) API includes this
support. (setusercontext and setclasscontext inherit the behaviour.)
This wart appears to be the origin of the sshd bug: although sshd
calls setusercontext, setusercontext doesn't call getpwclass if
the login_cap_t argument has been initialized, and sshd initializes
it incorrectly. It turns out to be quite easy to fix sshd though :-)

(A general observation: there appear to be a number of incorrect
comments in the source for libutil which is rather irritating.)

 	}
How-To-Repeat: 
I added a :umask=002: entry to the default login class and a :umask=022:
entry to the root login class in </etc/login.conf>. After this, if root
logs in via a getty on a virtual console or via telnet, the umask is
022 as expected, but if root logs in via ssh the umask is 002. However,
if root's password entry is changed to mention the root login class
explicitly, the umask is set to 022 when root logs in via ssh.

This has already been fixed in rev 1.19 in current. 
This is a MFC remined.

I'm investigating this one.

This re-fixes the login class handling in recent versions of sshd.
Shall I commit?
