When using the option "login" with pppd shipped with Redhat 5.2 there are no userlogins in the file wtmp. Same configuration with 5.1 works fine. Application is a terminal server with cyclades multiport card using mgetty and AutoPPP with pap authentication.
Has this changed in later releases?
Removing security severity.
Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core and reopen it against the new version if it still occurs. Closing as "not a bug" for now.
