Both problems are caused by the same thing.
make sure that the directory /var/rwho and all files in it
are writable by user "daemon" or group "daemon" (because
rwhod runs as user and group "daemon"). It should be
something like this:
drwxrwxr-x 2 bin daemon 512 Nov 11 18:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 512 Dec 18 1998 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 300 Nov 14 18:00 whod.dorifer
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 84 Nov 11 23:26 whod.kartanin
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 84 Nov 14 18:02 whod.tekener
The directopry is writable by group daemon, and the files all
belong to user daemon (and are writable by it).
Also, make sure that rwhod is really running as "daemon".
The following command will tell you: ps -aux | grep rwho
Regards
Oliver
