59Linux
60-----

62Some Linux distributions (including Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS) include
63headers and library links in the -devel RPMs rather than the main
64binary RPMs. If you get an error about headers, or complaining about a
65missing prerequisite then you may need to install the equivalent
66development packages. On Redhat based distros these may be openssl-devel,
67zlib-devel and pam-devel, on Debian based distros these may be
68libssl-dev, libz-dev and libpam-dev.

60-------
61If you enable BSM auditing on Solaris, you need to update audit_event(4)
62for praudit(1m) to give sensible output. The following line needs to be
63added to /etc/security/audit_event:

76As of OpenSSH 4.3p1, sshd will no longer check /etc/nologin itself when
77PAM is enabled. To maintain existing behaviour, pam_nologin should be
78added to sshd's session stack which will prevent users from starting shell
79sessions. Alternatively, pam_nologin can be added to either the auth or
80account stacks which will prevent authentication entirely, but will still
81return the output from pam_nologin to the client.
