Got it. I'll double check to make sure everything was recompiled
correctly. Thanks!

Hi Damon
Fabian was explaining to you that utmp was replaced by utmpx.
All programs in base that wrote to utmp now write to utmpx instead. If
you still have programs not from base that write to utmp, you will get
incorrect/crazy values reported - you must rebuild all tools that
currently write to utmp so that they no longer do so.
Cheers
Tom
