NO
just lose the PAM in 2.3.5
and do the following
Its the PAM stuff that is killing the utmp entries
If you look at the 2.3.5 RPM it is just the tar.gz in rpm format no
patches
thhis IS in contrib so dont blame Red Hat get off your A and learn RPM and
add the patches and post a new RPM to redhat
If you want to stay close to the bleeding edge do a bit of DIY

Usually, for errors, fixing the first one will affect most of the
