Description Bitman Zhou 2011-03-29 12:57:18 AEDT 
We are using auto mounted NFS home folders using NFS v3 and Kerberos on Mac OS X 10.6. This works nicely except when you login using SSH and authenticate using password. The problem is that sshd is trying to access the file system before it has a valid Kerberos ticket and therefore it fails to mount the home folder. After some debug, we find sshd calls check_quietlogin() which will stat $HOME/.hushlogin before calling do_pam_setcred().

Is there any workaround to bypass quietlogin checking? I cannot find any. Or please add an option for this purpose. Thanks a lot.

So what is the actual problem? It tries to access a file that resides on a fs that isn't mounted and ... ?
