Bug Description
Ubuntu 11.10 server example:
When I configure user ice to allow only 3 logins logged out SSH sessions are not being cleared.
/etc/security/
ice hard maxlogins 3
The user ice can login and logout many times without problem but if they login 3 times and hit the maxlogins limit then logout of all sessions the user can't log back in again even though there are zero logged in sessions.
/var/log/auth.log
pam_unix(
pam_limits(
PAM reports too many logins even though the user ice has no current logins.
