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. Szpak How reproducible: Alwayes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log via ssh 2. Look at screen
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.
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.) --Mike
