Description Doug Manton 2002-05-22 20:03:21 AEST 
The UseLogin option is broken on AIX in openssh-3.2.2p1.  Setting "UseLogin 
yes" results in an error message and failed login for each attempted login:

/dev/pts/1: 3004-004 You must "exec" login from the lowest login shell.

I can re-create this problem unser 3.0.2p1, 3.1pq and 3.2.2p2 on multiple AIX 
4.3.3 systems (ML6 up to ML10).

Does anyone know AIX well enough to diagnose the cause and propose a solution?

can you try with LOGIN_NEEDS_UTMPX defined?
Comment 3 Doug Manton 2002-05-26 05:07:46 AEST 
-DLOGIN_NEEDS_UTMPX solves the problem for 3.2.2.  I'll try it with 3.2.3 when 
I am back in the office.  If successful then it would be great to have this 
auto-defined for AIX by configure.  

Thanks for your help :)

Confirmed problem still exists in -cvs and goes away with this patch, after 
make distprep, configure and rebuild. Tested on AIX 4.3.3 ML 0 only.
