I recently noticed that when I log in to my computer (running 2.2-GAMMA-970225) using XFree86 3.2, the entry in /var/log/wtmp is made incorrectly. The date and time for X logins is almost invariably recorded as December 31 at 7:00 p.m., as in the sample 'last' output below. I have seen a few examples with different times, and a few that were garbled (various non-standard characters, control characters, etc.). As you can see from the second (terminal) entry, non-X logins are recorded without a problem. Has anyone else noticed this behavior, and does anyone have any suggestions? Output of 'last nomad'. (/var/log/wtmp was cleared on March 6 at 4:50 p.m.) nomad ttyp1 Wed Dec 31 19:00 still logged in nomad ttyv0 Thu Mar 6 16:54 still logged in wtmp begins Thu Mar 6 16:54 As far as my configuration goes, I have not touched the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config, so I have not modified the behavior of XFree86 in any way. Thanks for any help. If possible, please forward a copy of any responses to me, as I don't subscribe to -questions any longer due to its high volume. Thanks a lot! Ernie Pistor
