------- Additional Comments From markus at openbsd.org  2003-09-14 01:36 -------
wtmp is not for logins, it's for ttys.

using it for sftp is an abuse and causes portability nightmares.

we could abuse wtmp, but not now.

apart from that only rlogin causes wtmp entries, rsh
does not. sshd tried to emulate this from the beginning. now
every 
  ssh host ls
would create a wtmp entry, same about cvs over ssh.
