To: linux-dev@MIT.EDU Cc: efoo@MIT.EDU, miscinfo@MIT.EDU Date: Thu, 27 Jun 1996 14:31:44 EDT From: Eric Ding <ericding@MIT.EDU> Hi all, I was having weird problems with wtmp/lastlog/wtmp not being updated, and couldn't figure out why -- I checked out login, init, etc. Finally, I stumbled on the Athena telnetd as the culprit. I have RedHat 3.0.3 rather than Slackware 3.0 installed, and the filesystem structure seems to differ somewhat. There's no /usr/adm directory, and utmp and wtmp are in /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp. It seems that athena's telnetd is looking in /etc/utmp and /usr/adm/wtmp (I'm guessing from running strings on it). For now, my workaround is cd /usr ln -s /var/log adm cd /etc ln -s /var/run/utmp utmp I recall that there was an inconsistency with respect to the aliases file that messed up sendmail as well, but that simply required editing the sendmail.cf file; since the paths are actually hardcoded in telnetd, will there be a separate one compiled for RedHat (or is this FSSTND?) or at least a note on the workaround put in the linux-athena installation notes?
