Login & Who

[Sonic Junior]

	Ummm, well, I tried the login() command (it generates utmp), and who does
this:
	/PROGRA~1/GNUWIN32/B18/H-I386~1/BIN/WHO.EXE: /var/run/utmp
	(I also tried coping utmp from other systems, same result.)
	If it does not exist, I get this:

/PROGRA~1/GNUWIN32/B18/H-I386~1/BIN/WHO.EXE: /var/run/utmp: No such file or
directory.

	Any idea??

	SJ
