Dear Stabilizers,
I have had (and emailed about) this w problem, too.
Although the problem is currently in remission, I would
like to implement a clean cure.
Could someone please translate the line
"wtmp db was updated by 'cvt-tmp' tool."
and explain how I could repeat this process to make sure it's done
correctly?
Or point me to something to read about it?
Thank you,
Wayne M Barnes
