pam_nologin as account module



I've gotten several Debian bug reports that pam_nologin should be an
account module so it works better with ssh.  The problem is that if
you have RSA outh or Kerberos auth with ssh, the pam_authenticate call
is is skipped, so if pam_nologin is in the auth stack, then it will be
ignored.

Clearly making pam_nologin be an account module is wrong because doing
so would cause it to wait until after the password is entered for
login applications.  What about allowing pam_nologin to be both an
account and auth module?  Would this be acceptable?
