           Summary: sshd fails to update utmp
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.3p2
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: aaw at rincewind.tv


Periodically, my sshd stops updating utmp with login information. 
Restarting sshd doesn't resolve the problem, but rebooting my computer
does.  The last couple times this has happened, I've looked at the
message log and seen lines like:

Apr 20 00:14:00 wild1 sshd[16387]: Invalid user admin from
82.165.184.132
Apr 20 00:14:01 wild1 sshd[16392]: Invalid user guest from
82.165.184.132
Apr 20 00:14:02 wild1 sshd[16397]: Invalid user master from
82.165.184.132
Apr 20 00:14:12 wild1 sshd[16402]: Did not receive identification
string from 82.165.184.132

After the "Did not receive identification" line, my logins stop
updating utmp, and I get errors like:

Apr 20 10:11:04 wild1 sshd[17729]: syslogin_perform_logout: logout()
returned an error.
