That's a feature.  It's to allow remote entrants only into the contexts
into which they are explicitly permitted.  Note that you can have more
than one context defined (via multiple context= lines) for each user.
If it were not this way, then any user permitted to connect to your
system could access any context on your system, whether or not you
had authorized them to (a possible security hole).
