Package: procps
Version: 2:4.0.4-5
Severity: normal
The w(1) man page contains:
/var/run/utmp
information about who is currently logged on
and in SEE ALSO: "utmp(5)".
As of systemd 256.5-2, utmp support is disabled (/var/run/utmp
no longer exists), while w is still working. So it seems that
/var/run/utmp is no longer used.
According to strace, wtmpdb isn't used either. So, how is the
information obtained?
