A patch I submitted on 17 Feb ought to address the w- and u- files being
in different directories: indeed it also lets them default to their
natural (and possibly different) directories in the absence of a "utmp
directory" entry in smb.conf .  Alas, that patch seems to have been missed
in the pre2 tarball.

(At this point, let me acknowledge the unseen work that Giulio did in
persuading the utmp code to work on Redhat Linux.)
