Redhat Linux comes with a program called lastlog in /usr/sbin.
I find this annoying because I frequently use /mit/consult/bin/lastlog,
and I tend to get the wrong one first in my path -- "lastlog" then
produces different behavior on different platforms. On my own machine, I
simply renamed the Redhat version to something else both of the last two
times I installed. However, it is still annoying on Linux machines that
are not my own (such as cutter-john in SIPB). Would it be possible to
call this Redhat program something else in the next release of
Linux-Athena so there is no namespace conflict?
Thanks,
Katy
