> Check permission to who/w/last (need sgid uwtmp group) and reboot your > system . newsyslog.conf must be updated for this remain in effect more than a month; after that, newsyslog will rotate the wtmp log and chmod it to be world readable: /var/log/wtmp 644 3 * @01T05 B Similarly, utmp will be chmod'd each boot as part of clean_var() in /etc/rc: /etc/rc: (cd /var/run && cp /dev/null utmp && chmod 644 utmp;) I haven't read the patches so can't comment on their correctness.
