Hi All...
It was fun while it lasted 8-)
Perhaps the permissions/owner for lastlog as a file should be
644/system.none
It works for me and protects the log a bit better.
Thanks,
...Karl

Hmm, yes, you're right. I'll change that in the script. However, while
sshd works fine with a lastlog directory, it's not quite right to allow
both variations (file/dir) on Cygwin.
I don't know off-hand which applications make use of lastlog, but I'm
pretty sure you'll end up with some problems. I just had a quick look
and it seems that uucpd in inetutils uses a lastlog file and has no idea
how to handle a lastlog directory...
So, even if it works in sshd, you're moving on thin ice. You have been
warned ;-)
