similar to: Problem with wtmp loging

I've noticed rather strange wtmp logging behavior in sshd. Can anyone confirm or solve the following: Once a user authenticates themself to sshd, sshd among other things records the login in the wtmp, which `last` reads. However, sshd logs hostnames which are longer than 16 characters instead of IPs like normal programs would. As a result, I have useless entries such as: tempest

Please carbon-copy me on replies. For some reason, my wtmp is never updated when I login via openssh. Some information about my system: Linux kernel 2.6.9 running glibc-2.3.4. And the opensshd is openssh-3.9p1 (pkgsrc package openssh-3.9.1nb6). $ ls -l /var/log/lastlog /var/log/wtmp /var/run/utmp -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 29492 May 25 13:12 /var/log/lastlog -rw-rw-r-- 1 root

Hi all! wtmp entries are generated when loggin into a system without a command, e.g. "ssh -l user system". When using an additional command executed by ssh on the "other side", no wtmp entry will be generated. So the command "ssh -l user system /bin/csh" will not generate a wtmp entry but the user is logged in ... I have the problem right know. The users are starting

Hi, i just want to know if it's possible (i guess it is) to see in a log file the logging (date and hour) of a user. I looked in /var/log/smbd.log, nmbd.log, machine.log but there is no record when the user pat (for example) loged in the network. Does someone knows ? Thanks.

Hello to all! I have problem with OpenSSH 1.2.1pre18 on Linux (kernel 2.2.13, distribution Slackware 4.0). When someone login using ssh, there is no way to see his presentance with some 'standard' tools (finger, who, w, users...). Of course, his proccesses are in ps, and so. I've tried to see /etc/utmp using vi, and there is some entry, but maybe invalid, or something. When I enable

The new login code works fine with AIX 4.3. Two nits, though. If --disable-lastlog is defined, the code still tries to slog through wtmp to determine the last login time. Is this a bug or a feature? If a feature, change the DISABLE_LASTLOG test below to WITH_AIXAUTHENTICATE. Also, a small typo in configure.in, plus an AIX tweak. --- configure.in.orig Thu Jun 8 21:58:35 2000 +++ configure.in Mon

Hi, A lot of the problems with openssh portability so far appear to be with the login record functionality, i.e. lastlog support, and variations on handling utmp vs. utmpx etc. Looking at for-profit SSH 1.2.27, login.c is rather embarassing spaghetti code, so laden with '#ifdef's it's almost impossible to read. OpenSSH's code isn't anything like that, but then it doesn't

I spent some time with 3.0.2p1 to discover why OpenSSH on HP/UX 11.00 64-bit corrupts the /var/adm/wtmp file. The problem is with the utmp structure itself. When building with 32-bit compilation flags, the size of the utmp structure is 60 bytes. When building under 64-bit, the size is 72 bytes. The size difference is due to structure alignment and using basic types whose size changes depending

hi, from reiserfs it`s known to happen quite often - wtmp may be corrupted; but actually I`m using only ext2/3 on the test machine. After 7 days running the RH8 system I`ve noticed the first corruption of wtmp. last shows only the line wtmp begins Wed Dec 11 09:14:52 2002 and /usr/sbin/dump-utmp wtmp spits out the history, e.g. the last line |Sun Dec 15 14:36:34 2002 ithum

sessreg is used by display managers such as xdm and gdm to record X sessions in utmp, wtmp, and lastlog files. This release attempts to clean up some inconsistencies around the handling of the various files. Long long ago, Unix systems had a utmp file to record who was currently logged in, and a wtmp file to record login history. Long ago, extended versions of the files & APIs for them were

Hi, On Linux, glibc is using a 32bit time_t for wtmp and similar structs even on a 64bit system: https://www.thkukuk.de/blog/Y2038_glibc_utmp_64bit/ https://www.thkukuk.de/blog/Y2038_glibc_wtmp_64bit/ Since the glibc developers stated that they don't plan to solve the problem in glibc, but think that this interfaces are legacy and should be removed from glibc (like musl libc, which does not

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

If you were to search for 'wtmp' in the 1997 archives (via the Samba web pages), you would find one interesting
