Hi,
Since upgrading from RH-4.2 to RH-5.1, I have regularly noticed the
following strange stuff appearing from last.
ing *4*** ************J\*@ Thu Aug 6 12:46 still logged in
\h*@*** otify ***@ Thu Aug 6 12:46 still logged in
\h*@**** otify ***@ Thu Aug 6 12:46 - 12:46 (00:00)
However notice that ''who'' does not report this
lamm tty1 Aug 6 12:46
lamm ttyp2 Aug 6 12:47 (:0.0)
lamm ttyp4 Aug 6 15:05 (:0.0)
lamm ttyp5 Aug 6 14:21 (:0.0)
lamm ttyp9 Aug 6 23:06 (:0.0)
Reboots stop the problem for awhile but then it reappears.
I also read that glibc has sometimes produced corruption in utmp. Do
others notice this strange output of ''last?'' Is this a
security issue or
more likely just growing pains for utmp and glibc?
Thanks for input,
-sen
