1. sshd logs weird wtmp/utmp messages about which tty people are connected to:
A line from my last log:
drees ttyp0ÿ¿ ieng9.ucsd.edu Sun Apr 18 23:16 - down (00:17)
This was produced by sshing to my box.
Notice the two funny characters after ttyp0, I was getting these from remote
hosts, but all I could test were from remote solaris and linux (2.0.36) boxes.
Using telnet also produced the same funny characters. `w` and `finger` showed
the same weird characters. The two characters were always the same. Reverting
back to 2.2.5 resulted in normal behavior. This behavior _wasn't_ exhibited
while telneting/sshing to/from a 2.2.6 box on the lan.
2. I got a few "no child processes" messages in both 2.2.6 2.2.6-ac1
These happenned while running various shell scripts. One of them was in the
middle of a `make oldconfig`, the other was in the middle of running the
./configure script for ssh. Again, going back to 2.2.5 hasn't produced these
messages. Up until I booted 2.2.6, 2.2.5 was looking very good, uptime of
20 days, no weirdness at all.
Output from ver_linux script:
Kernel modules 2.1.121
Gnu C egcs-2.91.66
Binutils 2.9.1.0.23

Procps 2.0.2
Mount 2.9n

Let me know if you need any more information.
