liblogin:

liblogin is Andre Lucas' cross platform login library. It handles all the 
yucky details of wtmp, utmp and lastlog (which every OS vendor has
seen fit to implement differently) in one clean library.

OpenSSH will require liblogin in the near future, but for now it is 
recommended for users with login logging problems or curiosity.

X11 SSH Askpass:

Jim Knoble <jmknoble@pobox.com> has written an excellent X11
passphrase requester. This is highly recommended:
