manpage says:
If FILE is not specified, use /var/run/utmp. /var/log/wtmp as
FILE is
common. If ARG1 ARG2 given, -m presumed: 'am i' or 'mom
likes' are
usual.
Behavior says:
access("/var/run/utmpx", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/var/run/utmp", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
access("/var/run/utmpx", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/var/run/utmp", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
close(1) = 0
close(2) = 0
exit_group(0) = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++

just so happens my 'who' record is in /var/log/wtmp, and hacking in
a softlink on the ephemeral /var/run/utmp to the 2nd listed location will
make the 'who' command function until the next reboot.
Has this been fixed (or is this a suse special)? That it accesses
the same file twice in a row instead of two separate files seems a
bit odd.
