[Bug 743858] Re: sshd not appending to /var/log/btmp

[Moses Moore]

A known quirk of sshd in other distros is that sshd will refuse to write
to world- or group-readable /var/log/btmp.  The fix for this is 'chmod
0600 /var/log/btmp'.

Ubuntu Linux installs /var/log/btmp with permissions 0660 (aka -rw-
rw----).  I already changed permissions to 0600 (aka -rw-------) and
/var/log/btmp is still unaffected by bad login attempts via sshd.
