It is working under Solaris 2.7 for me:

user@otherhost> telnet targethost
Trying XXX.YYY.ZZZ.Z...
Connected to targethost.

There was a bug identified under Solaris 2.6 as follows:

"Solaris 2.6 does not write anything in /var/adm/loginlog even if
it does exist. This has been assigned bug ID 4096961."


I can't seem to get it to work for Solaris 2.7 either.  Has anyone
been able to confirm that this bug was fixed for Solaris 2.7.
