Error in audit log from who

Greetings,

We are using the "who" command in a script to assist in setting some environment variables. I recently installed POLYCENTER Security Intrusion Detector & found that the "who" command was generating a audit log with a Permission denied (13) error when attempting to open the /var/adm/utmp file. In reviewing the audit logs I have found that after getting this error, "who" does another open for /var/adm/utmp successfully. This does not happen when root executes "who".

This looks like a bug to me. Does anyone out there have any info on this.

Thanks,
