Obviously, /bin/login is responsible for handling utmp entries even when |
| 12 |
PAM is in used, and the upstream maintainer disabled this in the |
| 13 |
shadow-4.1.5 release (I could verify that it worked in shadow-4.1.4.3). |

The issue seems to be known already, however, and should be fixed soon, |

That's enough for me to know then, I'll just wait for a new release of |
| 20 |
"shadow", which will make it work again. I still thought I'd post this |
| 21 |
follow-up here, in case anyone else stumbles over this issue. ;-) |
