Description Bastien Nocera 2005-11-07 11:08:01 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #118855 +++

Hi,

After install Fedora 1 on my server I can't see "Last login" message
after logged via ssh. In RH 7.3 there was no problem with this. I see
this message when log lacally.
In sshd_config there is PrintLastLogin Yes.

I've looked through mailing list, newsgroup and forums but without any
results.

openssh-server-3.6.1p2-19

Bug known upstream, see:
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463

Workaround: chmod a+r /var/log/lastlog

The bug exists also on Debian sarge with ssh 3.6.1p2-12, but there the
lastlog file is already world readable, so the problem doesn't occur.


-- Additional comment from rodgersmp on 2004-05-16 21:29 EST --
The file /var/log/lastlog by default seems to have 600 permissions
(-rw-------).  

The program finger consults this file to find the date/time of a 
user's last login (unless the user is currently logged in).  This 
means that, unless you give world read permission on this file, a 
second symptom will be that fingering any user not presently logged 
in will yield "Never logged in." 

(This took me a while to track down because I erroneously assumed 
finger just read /var/log/wtmp.)
