I installed 5.07 and in the past week I have gotten the message that I can't login some problem with utmp. I remember seeing this years ago but can't seem to remember what to do to fix this problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

This might work for you.

#!/sbin/sh
# /sbin/clearutmp
#
# clear utmp, wtmp, utmpx, wtmpx on shutdown or bootup
#
>/etc/utmp
>/var/adm/utmp
>/etc/wtmp
>/var/adm/wtmp
>/etc/utmpx
>/var/adm/utmpx
>/etc/wtmpx
>/var/adm/wtmpx
 
Thanks

I will try this. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks again

Brandt
