[comp.sources.wanted] System V /etc/wtmp

jte@psuvax1.UUCP (04/13/87)

I have a little problem, first the background:

I am currently running System V 2.? (and 3.0 on a diff 3b2)
on a ATT 3B2/300.

I am trying to figure out how to read /etc/wtmp.  (Like the BSD last
command) and have had to luck.  Is there a way that I have overlooked
that makes it easy to read this file?  Does someone have a public
domain utility that lets you read out the information from this file?
Thanks for any help.

Use the "who" command. Try:

	who -a /etc/wtmp

The format is defined in utmp(4).

To look at wtmp look at /usr/lib/acct/fwtmp(1M) and
/usr/lib/acct/wtmpfix(1M).  I just checked and they're
both on my SVR2.P VAX.  Should also be on your
3B.
