And another one with SuSE 8.0 2.4.18-4GB shows: ****`*** `*******`*** ****`*******`*** Thu Jan 1 01:00 gone - no logout
Any ideas?
let me guess: you use reiserfs, right? if yes, it's known that wtmp gets corrupted their.
Only half true :) On the first one (7.3) I use ext2, and the problem is VERY much similar... It's apparently not a filesystem problem, and, as the kernels are also different, not a bug of a specific kernel version... BTW, both machines have an average uptime of 1-2 months, so it's not likely that wtmp get's corrupted due to system hangs or crashes (corrupted entries appear far more often then reboots, I mean)... May someone from SuSE join this discussion? Thanks Eduard __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
