Greetings -

Is it possible/advisable to share a single wtmp file across systems in a
homogenous environment?  Doing so would greatly simplify my system
accounting.

If it's possible, what's the recommended method?  I figured I could link
it to a file on an NFS filesystem.  Since the machines in question mount
everything except root from a master NFS server, I don't see any huge
problems with this, but perhaps there's something I'm overlooking.
