I tried passing SIGTERM to the sshd user process after applying the patch 
(id=821) and it is not cleaning up the wtmp entries. What would be needed in the
patch additionaly so that proper pid is passed at the time of cleaning wtmp 
entries when SIGTERM is received.

What makes the difference between recording unprivileged sshd process and forked
shell pid of this process in either utmp or wtmp and why it should be like that?

On what basis the getlogin() call works?. In base code, unprivileged sshd 
process pid is logged and getlogin() call fails on HP-UX. But with the patch (id
821) the same unprivileged sshd process pid is logged and getlogin() call now 
succeeds. IS there any other information logging significant in this regard?.

A change for comment #9, with the patch id 821, it logs the same process id 0 
for login. As a result when the user logout in one session, all the entires 
related to the user or someother user in wtmp are cleaned for all sessions even 
when the users doesn't logout in other sessions.

Created an attachment (id=916)

Patch for logging,clearing shell pid during login and logout

The attached patch logs the shell pid to utmp/wtmp files during login if
privilegeseparation is enabled. It also clears the shell pid from these files
during logout with privilegeseparation enabled. I tested the patch and it works
fine. Let me know the comments on the patch.
