Solaris wtmpx patch

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 13:48 still logged in
siegert pts/141 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 10:23 still logged in
siegert pts/94 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 10:14 still logged in
siegert pts/97 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 10:10 still logged in
# last -4000 | grep siegert
siegert pts/186 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 14:26 - 14:31 (00:05)
siegert pts/105 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 13:48 - 13:50 (00:01)
siegert pts/141 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 10:23 still logged in
siegert pts/94 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 10:14 - 10:29 (00:14)
siegert pts/97 stikine.ucs.sfu. Mon Jan 15 10:10 - 10:16 (00:05)
The result from "last -5 siegert" is nonsense. To see that the missing
username is the reason for this one can use bvi to enter the username
manually in the logout records. This indeed fixes the problem.
I append a patch. This will enter the username in any utmpx/wtmpx logout
record on any operating system. I believe that that won't be a problem (?).
Cheers,
Martin
