The wutmpdb package installed, but wtmpdb-rotate.timer and wtmpdb-update-boot.service are both disabled.
Should I enable both ( as you mentioned ) or will that happen when I update to the latest build ?
You have to enable both manually, as the update procedure doesn't know whether you turned them off because you don't want them to run. Until both are enabled, you will not get valid information from wtmpdb.
Not really: wtmpdb will report correct entries for users, just boot/shutdown entries will be missing. And there is no cleanup function called, which makes sure, that the database does not grow too much (aka "logrotate for wtmpdb") Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk, Distinguished Engineer, Senior Architect, Future Technologies SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Frankenstraße 146, 90461 Nuernberg, Germany Managing Director: Ivo Totev, Andrew Myers, Andrew McDonald, Martje Boudien Moerman (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg)
