Possible cause of duplicate entries is that uptimed on linux takes bootid from "btime" line in /proc/stat and uses that value to identify entries. If I understand correctly, this value is essentially a difference between CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME. It's neither constant nor a good estimate of actual time of a system boot. It changes with clock adjustments and during leap second.
On my system which has an uptime of 194 days and is running ntpd, the difference between the value currently shown in /proc/stat and the one recorded in utmp is 266 seconds. Of course, 194 days ago they were the same and therefore now uprecords and uptimed believe system must have been rebooted. -k -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
