Don't get me started on utmp/wtmp. The wtmp file is a cumulative version of utmp. /sbin/init, login and friends, and a few other programs write into both utmp and wtmp. There are libc routines which are used for utmp. Utmp is created from scratch every time the system is transitioned from single to multi-user mode. I suggest that you simply delete wtmp. The way it is supposed to work is that is wtmp does not exist, the utilities will not append to it. So, if you want a fresh wtmp, just create it. cat > /var/log/wtmp ^D Jeff Macdonald wrote: > Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this system file that doesn't > involve rebooting the system?
