Summary: Openssh doesn't support UTMPS/BTMPS/WTMPS database
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.9p1
Platform: Other
OS/Version: HP-UX
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Miscellaneous
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: tryponraj@gmail.com

I am using openssh in HP-UX B.11.23 platform.This platform supports
utmps/btmps/wtmps structure and related files for login purpose instead of
utmp/btmp/wtmp.
Since openssh has been written to support utmp struture, it ignores
utmps/btmps/wtmps and it's related files.
So commands that support utmp/btmp/wtmp database, for example logname,who -
[],last,lastb commands, do not work in 11.23 platform.
So, Can openssh be enhanced to support utmps/btmps/wtmps ?

It sounds like the same situation as utmpx and friends on some platforms (Solaris?)

loginrec is constructed to allow this, but first you ought to see if your
platform has native functions to deal with these files (ie the equivalents of
endutxent, getutxent, getutxid, getutxline, pututxline, setutxent, utmpxname).

Yes.Platform B.11.23 has native functions such as endutsent, getutsent,
getutsid, getutsline, pututsline, setutsent which are equivalents of
endutxent, getutxent, getutxid, getutxline, pututxline, setutxent, utmpxname
functions.

Could you please attach (ie "create a new attachment" don't paste into the text
field) the config.h file created by running ./configure on your HP-UX 11.23 system.
