Long awaited round 1 of NeXT patches.

Noted, thanks. That's amazing, now the only field that can be relied on
to be in struct utmp is ut_line. Anyone want to kill that too? ;-) I'm
sure some OS can store it as device numbers, just to wind people up.

What's your theory on the NeXT utmp failures? I'm looking to do a new
release of liblogin tonight (the ut_name fixes will be in) and fresh
openssh patches for 1.2.2. If you're still having utmp trouble, you
might want to run it up and send me the output from testlogin -v (as
root).

Is there any chance you can send me any of the following:

- utmp.h  (and any relevant files it includes)
- if they exist, utmpx.h, lastlog.h, paths.h and any dependencies

Ta,
-Andre
