similar to: wtmp bug in OpenSSH

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

Heya, I am expiriencing compiling issues on Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 boxes with dovecot 1.2.6. On Solaris 8 the compiler is gcc 64bit 3.2.2, on Solaris 10 gcc 3.4.3. On both systems the compiling fails with: /bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2

Hi, I've just posted an early alpha of a new login record library 'liblogin' to my website -> http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/andre.lucas/openssh.html . It's released as a patch, and it doesn't enable itself by default. Read the instructions first! This release is missing a lot of functionality, but is tested and working on Linux (RH6.0 anyway) and OpenBSD. Why you might

I may have posted this before but got no reply.

Hello Dovecot users! There seems to be a new dependency in some modules (eg, lib-storage, libdovecot-lda, libdovecot-ssl) on OpenSSL. In Dovecot 2.0, those modules didn't require OpenSSL, but 2.1 does. For the linking process the path to the OpenSSL library isn't specified properly (SSL_LIBS). Dovecot fails to build if OpenSSL is in a non-standard path. (Haven't checked if SSL_CFLAGS

Hi, I've just put a new version of liblogin[1] on my website. This version is fully tested on Linux RH6, OpenBSD, HPUX10.20 and Solaris 2.6. It may well work on other systems now, as it supports login(), [uw]tmp, [uw]tmpx, and lastlog (filemode only.) If you're feeling adventurous, please check out the web page and try it out. By 'tested', I mean that the library is known to

FYI a new version of liblogin, 0.3alpha, is up on my website at http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/andre.lucas/liblogin.html This version fixes a few bugs and has implementations for the full API, including 'get last login time' support, even for systems without lastlog. New OpenSSH patches against 1.2.2 are also available, to enable the last login time features. Again, the function (in

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

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 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, For each user connection when privilege separation is enabled, 3 processes are of interest for this topic. 1. sshd:[priv] - privileged user process. 2. sshd:user at pts/0 - user process. 3. shell - shell process. Openssh code writes the #2. sshd:user at pts/0 - user process to the utmp/wtmp file. Is this the correct behaviour.? Or should it write the #3. shell

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.

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
