Hello,

I'm working with a module pam_script, which executes a script at login and
logout. 

Very important - when logging out with the "login" command from the shadow
package, is the option "CLOSE_SESSIONS". If omitted (or set to "no") no
module will be executed/processed when a session is closed. I think this 
options should be included in login.defs.linux. 

At this moment this option is not in the login.defs and thus the default is
used, which is "no".


BTW:
- this is only true in Linux. Look at a note in login.c linenr 1248 of 
shadow-4.0.7 or linenr 964 of shadow-4.0.11.1.
