Package: libpam-ssh
Version: 1.92-15
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
currently there is no hint in libpam-ssh's manpage, that we don't have to do 
anything in order to enable it. The readme ([1]) even starts with:

"As system administrator you have to add a line to the PAM script for each 
service where you want to use pam_ssh."

Somewhere down the file that's corrected (see [2]), but you might move that 
sentence near to the top. I had these "...pam_ssh.so..." lines still in my 
/etc/pam.d/* files from the old days (etch? lenny?). Somehow i missed the day, 
when these manual changes became obsolete. Someday i wondered why some 
ssh-agents didn't terminate on shutdown. Everytime my system had to kill these 
daemons. After i removed the stuff from /etc/pam.d/* everything works smoothly 
again. Maybe some hints about this default configuration in the readme and/or 
manpage would help others to avoid doing the same errors i did.

Besides that minor issue everything else works fine for me. Thanks for this 
nice and helpful package!

[2] "This is effectively what is achieved by the default configuration 
/usr/share/pam-configs/silent-ssh-single-sign-on, see pam-auth-update."

Best regards,
Jakob M.
