Hi There:

We are running 11.0 with all the user logins coming
from the Xemulator using the PC's. we found the
following problems with
the logins from the PCs.
command working Possible reason
who works utmp updated
last no wtmp not updated
lastb no btmp not updated

we are clear that the xemulator is not updating the
wtmp and the btmp files and we have already informed
the vendor
about this. since wtmp and btmp is involved should
there be any other commands that would not work.
How will i be affected? i think certain commands
(finger) uses a combination of wtmp and utmp. what is
the relationship between utmp and wtmp in terms of
unix commands? i think btmp is specific to hp-ux.
Please advise.

Thanks

Joe.
