           Summary: utmp seems to be getting clobbered on logins
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: IRIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: ktaylor at daac.gsfc.nasa.gov


[-hostname-]/usr/people/ktaylor>last -3
ktaylor  ttyq2        host.someplace.org    Mon Mar 29 12:04   still logged in

The is the information I expect to see.

Then, I open a second window:

[-hostname-]/usr/people/ktaylor>last -3
ktaylor  ttyq3        host.someplace.org    Mon Mar 29 12:04   still logged in
ktaylor  ttyq3                              Mon Mar 29 12:04 - 12:04  (00:00)
ktaylor  ttyq2                              Mon Mar 29 12:04   still logged in

So, the first connection has had its 'from' information removed, then another
login happens and logs right out (perhaps this is privilege separation), then
the actual second login session occurs with the proper information.

On logout, that 'from' info is again wiped from utmp.

This is an IRIX box running 6.5.22 and openssh-3.8p1
