mgetty + glibc-2 : Bad entry in /var/run/utmp

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi

I installed glibc-2 as the default C-library (--prefix=/usr), and moved
libc with it's header files to nonstandard paths, so I can still use it
if I want.
I noticed, that the format of the utmp-entries changed and therefore
recompiled everything that uses /var/run/utmp
(sysvinit,util-linux-2.6,pppd ...) with glibc-2 to avoid /var/run/utmp
getting messed up.
I also noticed, that the latest mgetty ( 1.1.6-May05 ) linked against
glibc works, but still screws up /var/run/utmp.
Im sure that it is mgetty screwing up /var/run/utmp since innwatch (from
inn-1.5.1) immediatly starts complaining about /var/run/utmp after
someone successfully logs on via dialup.

Did anyone already fix that ?
