The format of the wtmp file changed between 2.2 and -current, to accomodate the longer user names now supported in -current. You still have some old program that is writing wtmp in the old format. The usual perpetrators are sshd and xterm. Rebuild both of those, and chances are that the problem will be solved. You'll probably need to clean out wtmp to get a fresh start. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
