Hi, After switching to support SSH2 on all of our public access servers we began to see things like this show up in 'w' output: user1 p1 hostname1 8:53AM 2 - user2 p2 hostname2 6:50AM 1:36 - So far i've reached the conclusion that those users use SecureCRT as their SSH2 client and when you press disconnect or simply close SecureCRT it leaves a dead login like that. It doesn't leave SSH running or anything like that but it doesn't seem to close the login entry in /var/log/wtmp (i think it is?) When someone goes to login in they simply re-use that same PTY and it goes away. I was wondering if this is a problem in OpenSSH or the way SecureCRT does its disconnecting? This problem did not occur with SSH1. Any ideas? TIA Holt! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo!
