openssh unix dev - Apr 2002 - Bug in all versions of OpenSSH

Hi,
I found a bug in all versions of SSH. I'll give you an example when the
bug occurs. When I connect to a remote computer using 'ssh
user at host.somewhere.in.th.net.com /bin/bash' (or /bin/tcsh) I log into
the remote computer and SSHD doesn't log this in wtmp,utmp,secure and
lastlog. It's *only* visible in /var/log/messages. That's all I want to
tell You. I hope you'll fix it in the next release.

Bug?  Hardly..

does: ssh user at site ls   login in wtmp, utmp, secure, and lastlog?

you are opening up a non-tty connection there is no logging of such
information outside of the system logs.  Check this against every other
ssh and rsh implementation.

wtmp and friends are for pty allocation.
