>Environment:
FreeBSD-2.2, pppd-2.2
>Description:
When using pppd with the option 'login' (use system passwd database
for authentication) two wtmp-entries are written for each login.
(Another is written when logging out, of course. Thus three entries
are added to the wtmp file.)
>How-To-Repeat:
see above
>Fix:
The following patch seems to be sufficient for the pppd. Another
fix would be not to write a wtmp entry with login(3). BTW:
login(3) und logout(3) behave inconsistently somehow, because
logout(3) just clears the utmp entry...
