List,

Sorry for responding to the list. I cannot send the e-mail directly to
Jerry K (sun@oryx.cc) due to stupid error message:
"reason: 550 5.0.0 contact postmaster@qnetis.com to activate this country - 24 July 2004."
It seems more people had the same problem, so Jerry received only 1 answer.

My contribution was:

"Do you use ssh to connect to the box? Or other protocols (telnet, ftp)?
If ssh, this is the answer (I wrote about this 2-3 weeks go on the list).
It seems that sshd (after patching - there is a patch dated mid-August)
not correctly writes record to /var/adm/wtmpx ...
To check this try telnet or ftp to the machine and you should see correct
results. As a workaroud I use logging auth stream from syslog. This
shows me where from ssh connections come.

Hope this is thrue & helps"

That was my personal findings. If anybody patched OS recently (more or less
Septemer) and uses ssh/sshd, please confirm/deny my findings.

best regards,

GB
