** Description changed: + SRU justification : + btmp logging had been removed in Debian a while ago due to protection to the /var/log/btmp file. This restriction is no longer true so it has been re-enabled on Debian. + + Impact : + Failure to login using ssh will be recorded in /var/log/btmp. + + Fix : + Change compilation time option + + Test Case : + $ ssh badname@localhost # hit 'enter' three times to fail logging in. + $ sudo lastb + + Expected outcome: + "lastb" reports something similar to: + "badname ssh:pts/1 localhost Sun Mar 27 17:01 - 17:01 (04:00)" + just as it does when a bad login attempt is made using /bin/login, or when using sshd on other distributions of linux (CentOS, Fedora, Arch, SUSE, ...etc) + + Actual outcome + No mention of a bad login attempt in lastb output; /var/log/btmp modify time and byte size is unchanged. + + Regression : + None expected, this used to be the default before it got disabled. + + Original description of the problem : + Steps to reproduce: $ ssh badname@localhost # hit 'enter' three times to fail logging in. $ sudo lastb Expected outcome: "lastb" reports something similar to: "badname ssh:pts/1 localhost Sun Mar 27 17:01 - 17:01 (04:00)" just as it does when a bad login attempt is made using /bin/login, or when using sshd on other distributions of linux (CentOS, Fedora, Arch, SUSE, ...etc) Actual outcome No mention of a bad login attempt in lastb output; /var/log/btmp modify time and byte size is unchanged.
