if a user is not allowed to remote login in the
/etc/security/user file, ssh correctly disallows logins
for ssh and scp type connections, but will allow login
via sftp.

this only seems to happen on the AIX5.3. on AIX5.2 the
permission is denied (although not with the same
"Remote login for account appa is not allowed." as for
ssh and scp - it just seems to say "access denied").

    this does not happen on the openssh.com version of ssh, so
    it must be related to the AIX patch. where are the latest
    revisions of the patch? last one on here is the 3.8.1 patch....

    This is because, ftp supports this. i.e when rlogin=false,
    it is possible to connect to that system using ftp. That's
    why these changes have been made for sftp.

    Yes this is related to AIX. Patch files have been uploaded on sf.net
