in my experience, i've tested manually ssh'ing to the same server, and i
see a logs for opening and closing the session. when doing so with ldm
on the same server, it has a log entry for opening the session, but not
closing it.

my guess is that it might have to do with how ldm does "kill $PPID" (the
parent process id) at the end of every session. it would require
recompiling ldm to test this.

live well,
