This is not a new bug, in fact it is not even a bug.. (feature?) since you are not really logged in. Rsh and several simular programs exhibit the exact same behavior and have so since they were introduced a decade and a half ago in 4.2 BSD. Note that Sshd still logs the connection to syslog (or how ever you have it configured to log on your system). Mind you that the only thing that is not being logged is are entries in utmp/wtmp, these files should not be relied on or trusted in the first place since it is prone to having errors and "ghost" entries. (some systems may system leave it world writable) -Pete
