Problem with utmp under Solaris

[Pierre Belanger]

Hi,

I found the following message (June 2002).

http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba-technical/2002-June/037434.html

I read the whole thread.  Any new comments?  I will try to find
a solution from what I read unless there are new ideas?

Thanx to google and sorry not to search on google before posting here.
