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.
