The format of the file has changed from 2.8 to 3.x. Due to the = increase in the length of login names. The best thing to do would be to = rename/delete the existing /var/log/wtmp and start a new one "touch /var/log/wtmp". I belive there is a way to conver the old information over to the new = format but I don't rember how. You could search through the mailing list = archives or maybe someone else will reply with another answer. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Vlad Skvortsov [SMTP:vlad@high.net.ru] > Sent: Monday, September 20, 1999 5:04 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: `last` >=20 > After upgrading from 2.2.8 to 3.2-STABLE at june my `last` output > became corrupt.
