is anyone listening? ;-)
login and telnetd both think that sizeof (utmp) == 44 (I'm not sure why yet,
they appearantly use libutil, which appears to think that
sizeof (utmp) == 36... this info from observing the effect of these two
programs on utmp and wtmp, and looking at their source)
init, who, finger, w, uptime, and xterm [and most other things] get it right,
and think that sizeof (utmp) == 36.
For example, my /var/log/wtmp is size 256... it has 1 36 byte record, and 5 44
byte records. 1 reboot record (the 36 byte record), 1 login record for ttyv0,
one login and logout record for ttyp3 (from telnetd), and one login and logout
record for ttyp2 (also from telnetd). xterm doesn't seem to write to wtmp.
My /var/run/utmp has two entries for ttyp2, one at 24*36 (from xterm), and
one at 24*44 (from telnetd).
I already tried:
rm -rf /usr/obj
rm -rf /usr/src
rm -rf /usr/sup
and getting a fresh copy of /usr/src, and make'ing world, but no difference.
This is 2.2-STABLE, btw...
