Subject: sshd fills syslog on Win98 
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

On Win98 sshd fills syslog with error lines such as

2003-02-22 18:33:26 : sshd : PID 213289 : LOG_ERR : 
 error: Failed to disconnect from controlling tty.
2003-02-22 18:33:32 : sshd : PID 771213 : LOG_INFO : 
 syslogin_perform_logout: logout() returned an error

*****
The first seems to originate from sshpty.c
	if (setsid() < 0)
		error("setsid: %.100s", strerror(errno));

	/*
	 * Verify that we are successfully disconnected from the controlling
	 * tty.
	 */
	fd = open(_PATH_TTY, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY);
	if (fd >= 0) {
		error("Failed to disconnect from controlling tty.");
		close(fd);
	}
*******
The second from loginrec.c

static int
syslogin_perform_logout(struct logininfo *li)
{
	(void)line_stripname(line, li->line, sizeof(line));

	if (!logout(line)) {
		log("syslogin_perform_logout: logout() returned an error");
