Summary:                    sshd shows wrong "last login" date/time
Description: 
Login in on any host (SPARC/x86, latest CSWossh installed) via ssh shows
not the last session login date/time. Instead the actual login date/time is
displayed.

Using SUNs sshd the login date/time information is correct.

Hi, 

This problem seems to be caused by pam which updates the /var/adm/lastlog
file before ssh reads the information.

I (re-)opened a bug upstream about this problem:
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87

Meanwhile I applied a workaround to temporarily solve this bug in the
opencsw package: openssh doesn't read or update anymore the
/var/adm/lastlog file (but still update wtmp).

This means /var/adm/lastlog could not be updated in some non standard pam
configuration.


Could you try latest openssh packages in my experimental repository [1] to
test if this fix work for you ? 

Thanks in advance,

Yann
