This the --with-utmp on solaris bug :-)
See the discussion in Feburary of this year (2002) on adding support to
samba for a 'w' listener and the creation of psudo-devices to make
finger, utmp and samba 'play nice'.
The correct fix is to add a 'sesion exec' command (and the matching
'sesion exec close' etc that would creat such a device and listen for
such requests.
Or write a PAM module - the hooks already exist.
As long as you don't try to make smbd create these 'devices' I don't
care how you do it :-)
