   Summary: doesn't properly log logout event in utmp entry when pts
   bigger than 999
   Product: Portable OpenSSH
   Version: 3.8p1
   Platform: All
   OS/Version: Linux
   Status: NEW
   Severity: normal
   Priority: P2
   Component: sshd
   AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxx
   ReportedBy: arekm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

   The problem is:
   syslogin_perform_logout() uses char line[8]; so tty name can have max 7
   characters which is not common on recent linux 2.6.5 (and higher) systems 
which
   do not use first free pts number (see http://testing.lkml.org/slashdot.php?
   mid=465538 if you are really interested).

   Due to that there are bad entries in utmp left like:
   misiek pts/1049 192.168.2.2 Thu Apr 29 01:11 gone - no logout
   misiek pts/1046 192.168.2.2 Thu Apr 29 01:05 gone - no logout
   misiek pts/1045 192.168.2.2 Thu Apr 29 01:05 gone - no logout
   misiek pts/1044 192.168.2.2 Thu Apr 29 01:04 gone - no logout

   Patch to fix issue:
   diff -urN openssh-3.8p1.org/loginrec.c openssh-3.8p1/loginrec.c
   --- openssh-3.8p1.org/loginrec.c 2004-04-29 01:06:46.350105456 +0200
   +++ openssh-3.8p1/loginrec.c 2004-04-29 01:07:37.357351176 +0200
   @@ -1354,7 +1354,7 @@
   syslogin_perform_logout(struct logininfo *li)
   {
   # ifdef HAVE_LOGOUT
   - char line[8];
   + char line[LINFO_LINESIZE];

   (void)line_stripname(line, li->line, sizeof(line));
----------------

Please fix! :)

Thanks and Regards
Deepak
