Bug ID: 3909
Summary: As of 10.0, the utmpx file list the daemon pid and not
the shell pid
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.0p2
Hardware: Other
OS: Solaris
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When the w(1) commands lists the current process of terminals, it uses
the pid from utmpx; unfortunately, it now contains the pid of the
sshd-sesssion process. This works kinda, but only we use a
ControlMaster and multiple utmpx slots use the same pid, confusing the
w(1) output.
I'm currently adding workaround to the Solaris w(1) processs and did
not see an easy way to do this in OpenSSH; while an non-privileged user
can run "pututxline()" on Solaris I am not sure this is true for other
OSes.
pututxline() would need to be called just before we execute the shell
or at least, after we have forked the process so we know the pid.
