similar to: Solaris wtmp/wtmpx handling

Hi :-) i have rollout a new ssh pakage in our environment. Apr 27 12:06:03 systemx sshd[869]: [ID 847 auth.info] wtmp_write: problem writing /var/adm/wtmp: No such file or directory Solaris 8 has no /var/adm/wtmp, it use /var/adm/wtmpx In the old package there was many of this messages I compiled the new package with --disable-wtmp \ --enable-wtmpx \ but sometimes one of this message are in

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

I am using the "UseLogin yes" configuration parameter to call the /usr/bin/login program on SGI Irix, (we are using Irix version 6.5.13). I do this because the SGI login program is AFS awhere and checks out a token for you and I do not want to compile the Kerberos version of sshd, (it is to messy for me to support). Everything seems to work fine accept the wtmp(x) and utmp(x) files do

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()

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

The recent patch posted by Steve VanDevender <stevev at darkwing.uoregon.edu> for fixing the session code on Tru64 isn't quite right -- it still fails in the case of NO tty being allocated. The problem is that s->tty is a char[TTYSZ] rather than a char *, and hence can't hold a NULL. Calling sia_ses_init() with the tty being an empty string doesn't signify no tty, and

hello tried the archives without success so hoping someone remember the fix. if compiled 64 bits openssh will not add a correct entry in wtmpx and the data/info get corrupted... so someone remembers what needed to be done to fix this? thanks -ls

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

I got email yesterday from a user who had run 'from' and got the message "No mail in /home/stevev/$USER" (where $USER was that person's username). At first I thought he had pilfered my .bashrc, but on further investigation I discovered that my home directory path had been compiled in to sshd, because the configuration tests assume that the directory part of $MAIL is the

Hi, I just installed OpenSSH 4.3p1 on our Solaris 8 machines and 'last' now shows wtmpx entries for ssh logins like zierke pts/4 Thu Jan 1 01:00 still logged in zierke pts/3 Thu Jan 1 01:00 - 10:56 (13183+09: instead of e.g. zierke pts/3 rzdspc10.informa Sat Feb 4 10:54 - 10:54 (00:00) zierke pts/2

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

Hi, I've installed openssh-2.1.0p2 on a Solaris 8 host (SPARC). The sshd corrupts utmpx/wtmpx when a client connects to this machine. Observable error: $ who who: Error --- entry has ut_type of 28265 when maximum is 9 It can be repeated and is attributable to the login done by sshd. Now, Solaris has only utmpx/wtmpx and not the old utmp/wtmp. It get's worse as more logins take place

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122 ------- Additional Comments From tim at multitalents.net 2002-02-25 05:32 ------- I spent some time looking into this. Initially I did see that last was reporting users still logged in that had logged out of their ssh connection. I noticed logintest showed everything working as expected. Now I can not duplicate the problem. I didn't change

Running configure on OpenSSH 2.9p2 doesn't find libz.XX if it is located in /usr/local/lib. Thanks, Eric

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
