RE: Problem with w, who, last

["Geoffrey T. Cheshire" <gtc@cheshirelaw.com>]

I have isolated the problem to OpenSSH's sshd version 2.5.1 on my stock
2.8-STABLE system. OpenSSH was compiled from source.  /var/log/wtmp becomes
corrupt after logging in remotely over ssh.

cp /dev/null to /var/log/wtmp restores 'last' to normalcy (but, of course,
nukes the prior entries).

Has there been a change in the wtmp format in -CURRENT that is causing all
these woes for me (as ports and ssh now, I think, track -CURRENT)?

Thanks,
Geoff
