- We seem to be having a problem with utmp running under ULTRIX RISC
- 4.2A. utmp doesn't seem to properly record the most recent logins
- after a fair number (approx. 25 or so) people have logged in. It
- fails such that "who am i" simply returns a blank, although whoami
- returns the correct information. Unfortunately, this problem is
- occurring on our main email server and causes a homegrown email
- program we use to fail.
-
- Any ideas?
