Solaris UseLogin problems

[Wendy Palm]

i'd like to add my support to including this mod.  unicos machines
need the utmp entry before login is called also.  since unicos uses
a database for user information, there are a lot of things that
i had to add to openssh for logging in that would be best done with
login() itself.  this modification elimated a lot of udb code.

thanks,
wendy
