I've currently noticed on my system that logins which straddle a change in month no longer show up with ac. I haven't looked at things too closely, but I think it is possible for a user to remain logged in long enough that they get "forgotten" when when newsyslog rotates wtmp. Perhaps wtmp should be rotated by something a little smarter than newsyslog -- something that will never "forget" about users with current login sessions? Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the problem, considers it to be a problem, or has thoughts about a fix. Thanks.
