>Description:
My sshd is started from inetd:
ssh             stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i

dmesg reports like:

  sshd (pid 9703) changing logname from reed to reedmedia

And then I log in to pstech and I get another entry:

  sshd (pid 755) changing logname from reedmedia to pstech

I login two more times to pstech, but no more logs.

Then I login into a different account and dmesg has another log:

  sshd (pid 25573) changing logname from pstech to bsdnews

USER PID PPID PGID   SESS JOBC STAT TT    TIME COMMAND
root 439    1  439 c22440    0 IWs  ?? 0:18.62 /usr/sbin/inetd -l

USER  PID PPID PGID   SESS JOBC STAT TT    TIME COMMAND
root 4402  439  439 c22440    0 IW   ?? 0:01.30 sshd: bsdnews [priv

USER      PID PPID PGID   SESS JOBC STAT TT    TIME COMMAND
bsdnews 25573 4402  439 c22440    0 IW   ?? 0:00.02 sshd: bsdnews@ttyp6

I see the code is from src/sys/kern/kern_prot.c (but maybe problem
is in sshd). I posted to netbsd-help: "How does the sshd process
know about the previous login name associated with different
process?"

christos asked me to file a PR: "It does not do the necessary work
to deal with process groups I think when started from inetd."

>How-To-Repeat:
Use inetd to serve sshd. Connect via ssh to different accounts.
