  We already change UT_NAMESIZE, lets change UT_HOSTSIZE in the same round

Or change it back. :-)

  Usually bigger UT_HOSTSIZE gives much better statistics, because too many
  of hosts now exceedes 16 char limit. 

I agree, 64 isn't bad, as you suggest.

One other "cautionary note" (I'm full of 'em today).  A lot of stuff assumes
that wtmp records are the same as utmp records.  Make sure we check for
programs that access wtmp as well as utmp.  We're not totally screwed if
we have a shared libutil() because many updated programs use logwtmp(),
but nonetheless, it's something that need be checked for lossage.

Just don't break my xterms please. :-(
