Hello

Has anyone had any problems with SAC and the wtmp file ?

We do a command such as this:

[root@einstein /root]# sac -w /var/log/wtmp -s 06/05/98 -e 06/05/98 ipax

and get the result:

Total:         0.00 over 1 days.

However, as you can see below, the user 'ipax' has been logged into this 
machine for a few hours:

wtmp begins Fri Jun  5 22:36:23 1998

We restartted the wtmp file as it seemed to be corrupted.

What are we doing wrong? Is there  abug in SAC? nothing is mentioned in the 
errata and the sac version (1.3-1) is only quite new.

System is a redhat 5.0

Regards

adam
