2nd try - Solaris 7 - utmp
A few days ago I installed OpenSSH-2.1.0 together with zlib-1.1.3 and
OpenSSL-0.9.5a on Solaris 7 on an Ultra box.

There appears to be something odd with the utmp stuff... if I just do a
normal configure, utmp logging works fine, but 'w' will give me this:

10:03pm up 13 day(s), 21:42, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.07, 0.10
User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what
wyodlows pts/4 9:57pm w
wyodlows pts/4 9:57pm w

Yup. Duplicate entries... 'who' tells me:

wyodlows pts/4 May 9 21:57
wyodlows pts/4 May 9 21:57 (me.my_isp.address)

In the first line of who's output, the address is blank (like it looks
here).

Now, if I use --without-utmpx, it doesn't affect the compile at all;
"#define USE_UTMPX 1" gets put into the generated config.h anyway.

If I manually comment that line out, then I get no utmp logging (what I'd
expect) and 'w' and 'who' both work correctly.

Thanks very much in advance!
