You gave me a great clue!! Finally, I found what's been causing this. It was `timed'. I have: timedflags="-F myhostname" in my /etc/sysconfig. Changing the date after killing timed made proper entries in wtmp. Thanks to all of you who have given me suggestions. Now, is this expected behavior? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Masafumi NAKANE, Keio Univ., Dept. of Environmental Information E-Mail : t94303mn@sfc.keio.ac.jp / max@sfc.wide.ad.jp [URL] : http://www.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~t94303mn
