AIX 5.1 /etc/security/failedlogin entry with OpenSSH 4.1p1

[Chris Taylor]

Hello

Ive downloaded OpenSSH 4.1p1 from the portable openssh web pages...
Compiled it up for an AIX 5.1 host (with latest IBM maintenance patches
applied)
using defaults in all cases.

When doing a successful SSH authentication it places an entry into
/etc/security/failedlogin
as well as /var/adm/wtmp

Ive also tried adding "UseLogin yes" to the sshd_config
PAM ISNT configured (infact sshd says the UsePAM option in the config
file is illegal)

None of the other "access methods", for instance telnet add a
failedlogin entry
unless the user fails a password challenge.

Is this a bug ?

Attached below is the "script"...

Thanks...

	-Chris
