Having these strange problems with my srp-telnetd not writing to wtmp and utmp properly... if I login and someone else logs in *after* me, my entry in utmp gets bumped out, so 'who', 'w', 'uptime, and 'finger' don't show me as being logged in. When the new user finally logs out, their entry is erased from utmp, and 'who' reports 'no one logged in'. Wreaks havoc on programs like talk and write... For example: nobody:~$ w 10:55am up 4 days, 11:18, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT nobody:~$ wtmp partially works - 'last' still shows me as being logged in, but sometimes even this breaks (it won't officially show someone as logged out until they log back in again and write to wtmp). The machine is a slackware 7 box - I've heard slack has a screwy wtmp/utmp setup, because the same srp-telnetd works fine on several of my Debian machines. Anyone know how I can fix the problem? Thanks in advance for the help. ..............................................................
