Login error in /var/adm/messages
I had an issue with ssh on one of my servers and noticed the following
errors, listed below.

Errors in /var/adm/messages
Code:
sshd lastlog_perform_login: Couln't stat /var/adm/lastlog: permission denied
sshd lastlog_openseek: /var/adm/lastlog is not a file or directory!
automountd self_check: unknown host: code (try again later)

I then checked to see if the file was there.
Code:
ls -l /var/adm/lastlog
-rwxrw-r--  1  root  root  /var/adm/lastlog

The ssh issue is now fixed. I then checked my other serves. All of them have
this error in the logs. How do I fix this? I get this error every time some
logs in with ssh

utmpx

utmpx(4)							   File Formats 							  utmpx(4)

NAME

       utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats

SYNOPSIS

       #include <utmpx.h>
       /var/adm/utmpx
       /var/adm/wtmpx

DESCRIPTION

       The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.

       The  utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database
       contains the history of user access and accounting information for the  utmpx database.

USAGE

       Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to  inter-
       act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently.

FILES

       /var/adm/utmpx	       user access and adminstration information

       /var/adm/wtmpx	       history of user access and adminstrative information

SEE ALSO

       getutxent(3C), wait(3C)wait.h(3HEAD)
