- Hi, I have a minor problem, using the SLS 0.98pl1 package with Linux 0.98pl5.
-
- Running w on my system i get something like:
- User tty idle
- root some data
- sync ttyp1 2days
-
- Now, sync wasn't supposed to be there. ps -axu doesn't show anyone but root.
- Looking into the wtmp file, I see that sync was logged in at some time, and
- then crash.
-
- Seems like someone hasn't cleaned up the utmp file propperly. Anyone who knows
- how to solve this problem?
