Hi, That's caused by a bug in the scripts (or possibly libc6), and there is probably nothing wrong with your utmp. look up the thread "weird utmp/perl problem" in the archives. When it is fixed, it still will not do what you want, I think, because even if it does find the utmp entry, it will use LOGNAME if they are not equal.
