Only that's not correct for most systems :-)

getlogin(2) returns what was previously passed to setlogin(2) (usually
by login(1)).  But this could indeed be a part of the problem,
especially since there is a known bug in ssh involving a missing
setsid() ...

Sorry to tease and run, but I have an appointment right *now*.
Will follow-up when I return.
