PATCH: login reporting (utmp?) problem on Linux

[Garrick James]

I have two Debian based machines.  One is stock 2.1r5.  The other is
somewhere between 2.1 and 2.2.  ;-)  Both machines had the utmp problem.

So far, I have seen this problem on or received reports for the problem on
Debian (2.1 and 2.2), Slackware (version?), RedHat (version?), Suse (6.4),
and Mandrake (7.0 and 7.1), though.  The patch I posted fixed the problem
in each case.

Damien, is there anyway I can get my patch tested on other non-Linux
systems and rolled into the official distribution?
