I took a further look into the sources. usr.bin/w/* is not the
problem, Iīd say. It probably read the time wrong from /var/run/utmp
if ((ut = fopen(_PATH_UTMP, "r")) == NULL)
err(1, "%s", _PATH_UTMP);
for (nusers = 0; fread(&utmp, sizeof(utmp), 1, ut);) {
...
I donīt know, which daemon writes to /var/run/utmp.
Maybe I should notice, that Iīm logged in via ssh.
Any ideas?
BTW: My machine, that is some newer, told me a login @ 01Jan71 (or
72 or 70? I forgot, but it doesnīt matter. itīs wrong at all)
just a minute ago. Thatīs also wrong but exactly the opposite of year
2035.
Now, it tells me something wrong, AGAIN. But not so worse at all:
I typed the following without any breaks, it took only ~5 seconds.
bash-2.02# ssh cichlids
root@cichlids's password:
You have mail.
bash-2.02# date

Strange. the login is at 12:02 and not at 12:00 !
Whatīs wrong with /var/run/utmp?
