Well, the "uptime" command bases its output on the contents of /var/log/wtmp. So the probable, though proximate, cause is that this file has not been updated or has become somehow corrupted. Use "last" to get more details. The "last" comment is just a lister for the contents /var/log/wtmp, which is a binary file (go figure). > -- > David C.
