My wtmp seems to be corrupt since I upgraded. I nulled it out and let it restart, but the last command is still showing some bad entries.
I'm seeing partial hostnames listed as users, and bad time stamps.
Any ideas?
The format of the wtmp format has changed, I guess due to the switch to glibc2. I noticed the same when I upgraded my machine at home. I just did the following: # cat /dev/null > /var/log/wtmp The system will then start a new wtmp file.
