problem with utmp file (fwd)
Hi
I was told (in this list) to touch /var/adm/utmp. It worked, but I went
on with problems; when I log in the system, it appears the message:
logname: no login name
The logname command see the /etc/utmp file, that exists. So, why does
this command give this error?
Thanks
