Subject: [mosh-devel] Bug#1072233: mosh: use wtmpdb to write wtmp entries

I think Mosh would be happy to support this transition, but Mosh doesn't
write to utmp/wtmp itself or with a PAM module; Mosh uses libutempter for
this. If libutempter is going to be updated to use wtmpdb, I don't think
Mosh itself has to change.

Sincerely,
Keith
