Maybe I didn't make myself clear.
The /var/adm/wtmp files are large due to the fact that they were not
emptied for over 2 years.
When I issue "last -n 20" I get the last 20 logins from December 13th
into the past. IOW, anything after Dec-13 is displaying. I'm not
supersticious and besides, other machines have different "limiting"
date. So, I'm guessing it has something to do with the file size.
I'm seeing this on several versions of Tru64, so this is something
deeper.
Nix.
