After upgrading to openssh-3.6.1p2-1, I get this in my syslog when people log in: Jun 11 09:12:47 jik sshd[13093]: error: setlogin failed: Function not implemented The login nevertheless succeeds. Is this a bug or an ignorable informational message?
The message I reported originally is gone, but this one remains, each time I log in, with 3.6.1p2-4: Jul 30 06:44:56 jik sshd(pam_unix)[5302]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=jik.kamens.brookline.ma.us user=jik
This depends on the pam configuration and is generally not a bug.
