lshd does *not* do the PAM session things (it can use pam for checking
passwords, but only for that). And I'm afraid it's not reasonable to add
support for it in lsh-2.x. Sorry about that.

Old discussion here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2000/10/msg01417.html

I have softened a bit since ;-). I think proper PAM support is feature
that fits well in the reorganized lsh-3 userauth, and that I guess lot
of users nned. But not yet implemented there either.

Regards,
/Niels
