Yes, you can tell us what platform, version and compile options you're
using.

If, for example, you're using AIX 5.x *and* your sshd was compiled on
4.x then the wtmp structures are incompatible and you'll see this
problem.

If that's the case, get an sshd compiled on 5.x. If that's not the case
then please provide more details.
