I had an instance this morning on an AIX box with openssh 4.5 where this file appeared:
prwxr-x--- 1 bacskaik system 0 22 May 09:59 ssh_sync_pty in the /tmp directory. The user who owns it says they did nothing out of the ordinary, but once it existed all users in the "secure" unix group could not log in until I moved this file out of the way. I tried to find information on it, specifically how it gets created and what it's purpose would have been but I cannot find anything. Does anyone know about it? Cheers!
