Installation went flawlessly except now I noticed that when I use the last command, I get a screen full of strange charactors and some things don't line up in proper columns. I rotated the log files, it worked for a while and came back to this. It also works to delete /var/log/wtmp and touch a new one but it seems to get corrupted often. Any Ideas would be appreciated! Thanks, Ben -- Here is an example: 1†6ttyp3 10.7 a Thu Jul 28 15:50 still logged in ¹†6ttyp2 a Thu Jul 28 15:50 still logged in 10.7 192.168. 833 Wed Dec 31 16:00 still logged in root ftp 10.7 Sun Feb 8 11:55 still logged in bpepa ttyp1 192.168.10.7 Sun Dec 27 01:24 still logged in bpepa ttyd1 Sun Dec 27 00:48 still logged in wtmp begins Sun Dec 27 00:48:33 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
