Hello:
Files /var/adm/wtmp and utmp are getting bigger. I trimmed both of them by
using the following commands:
# cp /var/adm/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp_Nov2001
# cp /dev/null /var/adm/wtmp
Then, commands 'who -b' and 'who -r' do not display anything anymore. Since
command who accesses wtmp and utmp files, I assume the trimming process must
have something to do with the 'who -b'. If it is the reason, what is the
correct method to maintain both files in a suitable size and also make 'who
-b; who -r' display the proper information?
Thanks in advance.
