SVN rev 202876 on 2010-01-23 08:43:21Z by ed
Just ignore the timestamps given to pututxline().
I've noticed many applications do a bad job at timekeeping, for several
reasons:
- Applications like screen(1) don't update time records when restoring
the old user login record.
- Many applications only set ut_tv.tv_sec, not ut_tv.tv_usec.
This causes many problems for tools such as ac(8), which require the
timestamps to be properly ordered. This is why I've decided to let the
utmpx code obtain valid timestamps itself.
