Hi All...
It was a permissions problem with /var/run/utmp.
But that got me looking...back in Nov 2003, Corinna made the following
change to ssh-host-config
# Create /var/log and /var/log/lastlog if not already existing
-if [ -f /var/log ]
+if [ -f ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log ]
then
- echo "Creating /var/log failed\!"
+ echo "Creating ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log failed!"
else
- if [ ! -d /var/log ]
+ if [ ! -d ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log ]
then
- mkdir -p /var/log
+ mkdir -p ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log
fi
- if [ -d /var/log/lastlog ]
+ if [ -d ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log/lastlog ]
then
- echo "Creating /var/log/lastlog failed\!"
- elif [ ! -f /var/log/lastlog ]
+ chmod 777 ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log/lastlog
+ elif [ ! -f ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log/lastlog ]
then
- cat /dev/null > /var/log/lastlog
+ cat /dev/null > ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log/lastlog
+ chmod 666 ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log/lastlog
fi
fi
And I am curious why set the permissions to 777 on /var/log/lastlog if it is
a directory?
Thanks,
...Karl

A permission problem with /var/log/wtmp or /var/run/utmp?
