SUMMARY: Trouble last after SSH + LDAP

As it turned out this is an issue with OpenSSH 4.3p1. There is a  
patch avilable at: http://www.zip.com.au/~dtucker/openssh/4.3p1- 
configure.patch

Did a make distclean, applied the patch, and rebuilt with no problems.

Thanks to Francois Bousquet who replied suggesting I use the native  
Solaris pam_ldap. We're using Apple's Open Directory and I'm not  
brave enough to go about patching and recompiling the slapd included  
with that.

Original Post:

> I have just set up a PAM enabled OpenSSH daemon to allow

> fine but when I run the last command SSH logins do not have a
> terminal or host name listed and the login date is "Wed Dec 31
> 20:00". A log out time isn't recorded when logging out and last
> reports "still logged in". Finger reports all the correct information
> so it seems to be getting name service info properly. Does last and
> wtmpx not use the OS name service stuff? Has anyone seen this before?

> Background:
> Solaris 8 kernel 117350-28
> OpenLDAP client 2.3.27
> LDAP patch 108993-49 (similar behavior experienced with revision 60)
> OpenSSH 4.3p1 / OpenSSL 0.9.7f
> PAM LDAP module 1.80
> NSS LDAP module 2.52
> nscd has been restarted, but ldap_cachemgr is not running, I have
> read it is not recommended with OpenLDAP, only with Sun's directory
