Most people sugested that they saw that and that the only permanent cure was to
clear out wtmp.
# cd /var/adm
# cp wtmp wtmp.1
# cat /dev/null > wtmp (or echo "\c" > wtmp)
Mohamed Ahmed pointed me to some additional tools that could help (fwtmp).
Unfortunately, I didn't install the Accounting Utilities, so I can't tell right
now. It's worth a try.
Serguei Patchkovskii provided a Perl script that is, in his words, more robust
than "last". I'm attaching it to this message, since it is small enough and
might be valuable to all of us.
Nix.
