Both the wtmp and utmp. >2. When (before login, during session, after logout) Upon login it seems fine, but upon logout it seems to write two enteries into the wtmp file which corrupts that one. On the utmp side, it seems that after someone has logged in it writes a normal record - if another user logs in it corrupts the last entry and it's replaced with the new users entry until either someone else logs out or a new user logs in. It seems like it's a real mess. I'm not *entirely* sure about the sequence of the utmp corruption - but the wtmp I'm sure of. However, they're both corrupted - suddenly a user appears in a 'who' and then they disappear into thin air (after another user logs in).
