[Bug 743858] Re: sshd not appending to /var/log/btmp

[Louis Bouchard]

btmp logging has now  been re-enabled in Debian (see Debian bug
#742775). It has also been synced back into Trusty. SRU is required for
Saucy & Precise. I will take care of that

Title:
  sshd not appending to /var/log/btmp

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  $ ssh badname at 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.
