Re: Fw: PPP and wtmp not working together
Hi Folks, Peter and Jens have commented on this matter already, but I have a slight variation on the theme. I can get wtmp entries made when the user connects and initiates PPPD, but I fail to get a corresponding entry in wtmp when the session is complete. It is not until another user gets that ttyC* port that the wtmp entries actually reflect that the previous user is logged out. Has anyone seen this behaviour before. A cure would be very nice. System - debian 2.0.30 kernel, libc5 - 5.4.33-3, libc6 - 2.0.4-1, ppp 2.2.0f-23, mgetty 1.1.7-4 Many thanks, Gavan Jens B.

There's a chicken-and-egg problem here because though it's mgetty's job to make the entry, when dialin users authenticate with PAP/CHAP by that time mgetty is no longer running. I believe that using ppp-pam will alleviate this problem. The pam module used to authenticate should also take care of logging the utmp/wtmp entries (though reading the documentation I don't see anything which more than suggests this). Get the ppp-pam package, give it a try, and let me know if it does indeed make the proper entries.
