Hi,
As I somewhere read there is an enhanced in w/utmp(some fields are
changed) files for upcoming ipv6 standart.
I have similar problem but pppd related i.e. AutoPPP feature(mgetty)
user dial-in and directrly authenticate using PAP but w of finger
not show them.
I simply precompile pppd.
But for a small time I have such problem:
eive:19 Thu Jan 1 02:0 still loggd in
ceive: 1 Sun Feb 8 07:08 - 02:00 ( -38+-5:-8)
in wtmp file, I create new wtmp and problem is done.
regards
