openssh bugs - Feb 2005 - [Bug 979] Openssh doesn't support UTMPS/BTMPS/WTMPS database

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=979

           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 at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: tryponraj at 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.
