http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183 Summary: sshd fails to update utmp Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 4.3p2 Platform: ix86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: sshd AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org ReportedBy: aaw at rincewind.tv Periodically, my sshd stops updating utmp with login information. Restarting sshd doesn't resolve the problem, but rebooting my computer does. The last couple times this has happened, I've looked at the message log and seen lines like: Apr 20 00:14:00 wild1 sshd[16387]: Invalid user admin from 82.165.184.132 Apr 20 00:14:01 wild1 sshd[16392]: Invalid user guest from 82.165.184.132 Apr 20 00:14:02 wild1 sshd[16397]: Invalid user master from 82.165.184.132 Apr 20 00:14:12 wild1 sshd[16402]: Did not receive identification string from 82.165.184.132 After the "Did not receive identification" line, my logins stop updating utmp, and I get errors like: Apr 20 10:11:04 wild1 sshd[17729]: syslogin_perform_logout: logout() returned an error. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
