I set up a RedHat 9 router with the "minimal" option and ended up uninstalling more stuff. When I run 'w' I see nothing (except the uptime), but a 'who' correctly shows all the users logged in. Both commands work properly for root, so I'm guessing it's a problem with permissions. The manpage for 'w' says it uses /etc/utmp, but that doesn't exist. /var/run/utmp exists and is readable by all. /var/log/utmp does not exist. What could the problem be?
