[mosh-users] logging to wtmp

[Zachary Miller]

hello,

is there any way to tell mosh-server not to log to /var/log/wtmp?

i'm not sure what mechanism mosh is using that causes this, but my wtmp file
is filled with multiple identical entries like:

zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 09:07 - 09:26  (00:18)     76.250.XX.YY via mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 09:07 - 09:07  (00:00)     mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 09:07 - 09:07  (00:00)     76.250.XX.YY via mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 08:52 - 09:07  (00:14)     mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 08:52 - 08:52  (00:00)     76.250.XX.YY via mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 08:52 - 08:52  (00:00)     mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 08:52 - 08:52  (00:00)     76.250.XX.YY via mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 06:52 - 08:52  (01:59)     mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 06:51 - 06:52  (00:00)     76.250.XX.YY via mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 06:51 - 06:51  (00:00)     mosh [8627]
zmiller  pts/2        Wed Sep  5 06:51 - 06:51  (00:00)     76.250.XX.YY via mosh [8627]
...

and it's too much noise.  it would be nice to only log when the session is
initiated.  any ideas?


cheers,
