Subject: [2.5.0 Quick Fix] GNU libc updwtmp() does not record logouts

A change in WU-FTPD version 2.5.0 was to use the supplied udpwtmp()
function to handle wtmp logging. Unfortunately, udpwtmp() turns out to be
overly simplistic and unreliable.

This correction allows WU-FTPD 2.5.0 on systems using GNU libc version 2 to
record logout information in the wtmp file. Primarily, this effects Linux;
other systems may be effected.

The fix for this problem is available from:

ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/quickfixes/apply_to_2.5.0/glibc.wtmp.patch
