| originally, i had:
|
| total 1
| -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1080 Feb 22 05:43 utmp
| -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1024 Feb 22 05:43 utmpx
|
| i changed this to:
|
| total 1
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 1080 Feb 22 05:43 utmp
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 1024 Feb 22 05:43 utmpx
|
| nothing has changed.
| it still doesn't work for console logins.
| utmp entries ARE made for ssh logins though.
| and reboots/shutdowns.
|
| /var/log/messages contains no entries
| after logins. i don't see anything
| in /var/log that relates to the problem.
They need to be group utmp.
