i have no idea about the login infrastructure.

with that in mind: i have a suspicion that dropbear lacks some integration (PAM?) that invokes the login services you mentioned above. or maybe it doesn't define some env variable that openssh does?

these machines are used as servers to which i log in through ssh (i.e. no logins through the local console).

i'll search around and i'll open a new issue if i cannot resolve this.
