Mailing List Archive: login reporting (utmp?) problem on Linux

* Garrick James <garrick@james.net> [000616 14:43]:
|I have recently compiled and installed openssh-2.1.1p1 on a linux box.
|The login reporting does not seem to work properly.

I have recently compiled and installed it on 4 machines, 3 of which are
Slackware7, and one is Slackware-current.

|When logging into the box via ssh (protocol 1) utmp shows the user logged
|in and the tty properly, but the field for the login date/time and the
|field for originating host contain all NULLs.

For me, I have the same behavior -- 0xffffff. opensshd seems to have a utmp
problem, but I can't be sure

All of the ttyp*'s are ssh logins:
[emily@dumont:~]$ w
2:50pm up 2 days, 21:07, 7 users, load average: 2.00, 2.00, 2.00
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
