    In future, please post instead. The answer is then archived and
    available to others.

    If you run an sshd compiled on AIX 4 on AIX 5 then it will not correctly
    record wtmp (or utmp, I always forget which) entries. This is because
    IBM made incompatible changes between AIX 4 and 5.

    Make sure the sshd you run on AIX 5 was compiled on AIX 5.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
