It's not trying to tell you that there is a user called "reboot". It will also list "shutdown" there if the system has been shutdown. e.g. here is an excerpt from my wtmp, from when I did a shutdown -r now. I believe that the "reboot" command actually has to be used for this to show up, but I could be wrong. --- cjm2 ttyp0 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd Wed Jun 2 21:48 - 21:58 (00:10) reboot ~ Wed Jun 2 20:59 shutdown ~ Wed Jun 2 20:57 cjm2 ttyp0 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd Wed Jun 2 20:45 - shutdown (00:12) -Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Andy V.
