Anyone have any clues? You need to recompile libkvm, libc, and 'w', to go along with the zeroing utmp/wtmp and recompiling 'login'. The problem is the 16-8 user field size change. You can see that this is obviously the case by noting that you are missing the 8 characters from the front of your host name, and knowing the utmp/wtmp field order. Now you get to replace all your compilation tools because of the 'mk' file changes and the stupid non-use of "strip". Congradulations.
