I tried this on my 64-bTT machine, and it seemed to be working OK. >This is probably because the time is stored as a 32-bits integer >in /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp. If the time-value is defined as a fixed 32-bit integer (instead of being time_t), then the records themselves should be fine. The records (as written) won't be changing in size due to this change. So, if there is a bug here then it'll probably be in the 'ac' program. That's my guess, at least. We can look into that some more, but don't need to address it right away. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
