I just tried idled, but cannot get it to work. It logs an error
which says "unable to read utmp file". I can look at the utmp file
just fine (although it has some non-ASCII characters in it.) By
checking the source code, I determined that it is failing after
executing the following command:
res != sizeof (struct, utmp)
I'm no C++ guru, but this statement seems to evaluate for TRUE
whenever the structure of the file is wrong (the data element is the
srong size?), then this triggers the error message & aborts the
program.
Has the structure of the utmp file changed with the last release of
Red Hat?
