             Bug #: 1946
           Summary: AIX and /var/adm/wtmp
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.9p1
          Platform: PPC
        OS/Version: AIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: yaberger at ca.ibm.com


I've compiled and using OpenSSH 5.9p1 on AIX 6.1 TL6 SP4 / SP5
I've compiled it using this configure command:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openssh-5.9p1 --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh
--without-shadow --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl
--with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib

I've set some Public Key Authentication between a few systems.
My /var/adm/wtmp has started to increase in size but I can't see any
entry being added when I try to display the content using those two
commands:
last
who /var/adm/wtmp

But I'm guessing it's coming from OpenSSH because of this command:
strings /var/adm/wtmp |tail -n 20
openssh

N?f(
openssh
N?f-
openssh
N?f-
openssh
N?f2
openssh
N?f7
openssh
N?f<
openssh
N?fA

Need to figure what is being added in /var/adm/wtmp, if it's normal and
why it's not possible to display it with the regular commands such as
"last" and "who /var/adm/wtmp"


Best regards,

Yannick Bergeron
