WARNING: putuserattr SEC_COMMIT failed: A file or directory

[Edward Geraghty]

Hello,

     I'm going on memory here. I remember seeing this problem
when you /etc/security/lastlog file is corrupted. As a test, backup and
truncate you lastlog file. Commands similar to:

cp /etc/security/lastlog /etc/security/lastlog.saveme
cp /dev/null /etc/security/lastlog

If this works.. I have no idea what process corrupts the lastlog
file..

Good Luck,

EdGy

What exactly are you trying to do ? connect to AIX server(running the
commercial ssh 2.4.0) ? How is this related to OpenSSH ? Are you using
openssh client and the server error happens only when connecting with
openssh-client ?
