Is anyone else having problems with 'last'? We just upgraded many of our
boxes from Solaris 8 (07/01) to (10/01), and we are getting incorrect
results from 'last'. We are at kernel patch level 108528-15.

The latest date to appear is always "Wed Dec 31 16:00", nothing after
Aug 1 appears. I've tried initializing /var/adm/[u,w]tmpx with
'cat /dev/null >! ..." but the problem persists. Looked on SunSolve,
didn't see any patches specific to 'last'.
