similar to: utmpx bug in openssh-2.1.0p2 using Solaris 8

We're trying to build OpenSSH 3.0.2p1 for Solaris 8 (among others) and are running into a problem with UseLogin and utmpx. If we set "UseLogin no" then we can login okay. finger or who won't find us, even with a TTY allocated altough "who /etc/wtmpx" will find us. But the real problem is if we set "UseLogin true" which we must do for BSM support on some

Using UseLogin on a system that has to twiddle utmpx before calling login currently also twiddles wtmpx, and this causes problems on Solaris in the "last" log. Changing the source to avoid modifying wtmpx when also modifying utmpx fixes things up nicely: Index: loginrec.c --- loginrec.c 2001/05/08 20:33:06 1.33 +++ loginrec.c 2001/06/06 17:14:25 @@ -456,9 +456,10 @@ # endif # ifdef

Hello all, The next version of FreeBSD will use utmpx for its user accounting database, as opposed to utmp which is used right now. Unfortunately wtmpx and lastlog handling isn't standardized at all, which is why we took the liberty to integrate all these databases into a compact API, where setutxdb() can be used to switch to a different database and getutxuser() to search for a USER_PROCESS

Hello When I was using OpenSSH-2.9p2 in Solaris 8 sparcv9 (64bit) environment, I found some trouble that wtmpx has broken. The size of utmpx structure object becomes larger than 32 bit environment in sparcv9 environment.Therefore, instead of using utmpx structure object, using futmpx structure object is better. In sparcv9 environment, futmpx structure object is used instead of utmpx structure

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

I have some troubles with subj and proper utmpx/wtmpx functionality. After successfull ssh connect to Solaris 8 box, I run #w 11:59am up 13:45, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.02 User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what root console 11:43am 9 bash # Record about my pts/1 login is absent. Next command I run from Solaris 8 console

Problem: 'last' output is incorrect, /var/adm/wtmpx is corrupted. Example: foster pts/1 Wed Dec 31 16:00 still logged in foster pts/3 dim Thu Aug 1 14:34 still logged in Solution: (workaround) This turned out to be an OpenSSH problem! If OpenSSH (only tested versions 3.4p1 and 3.5p1) is compiled 64-bit it corrupts the /var/adm/wtmpx

Hi, Solaris (tested with 2.6) needs a username in the logout record in the wtmpx file. Currently openssh (version 2.3.0p1) leaves the username (utmpx.ut_user) empty in logout records, which leads to conflicting results from the last command. Example: # last -5 siegert siegert pts/186 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 14:26 still logged in siegert pts/105 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15

On SCO 5.0.7 and openssh 3.8.1p1, two entries are written to /etc/wtmp and /etc/wtmpx each time a user logs in via ssh. This can be demonstrated using the last(C) command. Any user connected via ssh will have two identical login and logout entries. On SCO, login_write() in loginrec.c calls both wtmp_write_entry() and wtmpx_write_entry() (USE_WTMP and USE_WTMPX are defined). wtmp_write_entry()

Hi, Attached is a patch to 1.2.1pre18 that includes a number of portability changes, and more a more complete HPUX10.20 implementation. Thanks to Ben Taylor's utmpx patch, utmpx and wtmpx support are now in for HP, with a few caveats. It compiles cleanly on HPUX10.20 with gcc, cleanly on Linux, and with a few minor warnings on Solaris 2.6. Most compat changes are made via autoconf which

I was having problems getting the UseLogin option to work on Solaris. I would recieve this error: No utmpx entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "shell". This led me to believe that Solaris login wants a utmpx entry in order to function. I put together a patch that calls record_login on Solaris when using the system login. I also noticed that writing a wtmpx

I'm using openssh 2.5.2p2 on Solaris-x86 2.6. I ran into a couple problems when I set UseLogin to "yes": The big one seems to have been reported before: login refuses to run without a utmpx entry. This problem appears to have been caused by the changes in revision 1.24 of session.c. Before this revision, the record_login() function was always called, no matter how UseLogin was

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

Hello OpenSSH hackers, The last couple of weeks I've been figuring out how hard it is to replace FreeBSD's <utmp.h> with <utmpx.h>. I don't think utmpx is perfect, but at least it's better than what we have now and at least it has gone through some form of standardisation. I noticed POSIX says the following [1]: | The <utmpx.h> header shall define the utmpx

I installed 2.5.1p2 on an irix system and noticed that if a user logged in typed "logname" it was providing the wrong username. File creations were correct, "w" produces the correct output....so something is funky in p2 that wasn't there in p1.

it seems that --enable-utmpx and friends have the effect of disabling the corresponding feature (i.e., #define-ing DISABLE_UTMPX etc.), which leads to the (perhaps not so) obvious breakage of UseLogin on Solaris etc. For the less anal (or reformed anal) configure-r who leaves these unspecified, everything is OK i'd suggest changes to configure.in, but i'm blissfully ignorant of autoconf.

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

Starting with 11.23 HP is using utmps as if we didn't already have enough (utmp, wtmp, utmpx, wtmpx,... did I miss any??) . Anyway, I added support for it in (before this patch no logins from ssh were showing up on my 11.23 and 11.31 systems). http://homepage.mac.com/gagnocg/downloads/hpux-cvs.diff
