Err, wtmp is a binary file.. If you cat it, it will indeed, look like junk..

Don't get me started on utmp/wtmp. The wtmp file is a cumulative version of
utmp. /sbin/init, login and friends, and a few other programs write into
both utmp and wtmp. There are libc routines which are used for utmp. Utmp
is created from scratch every time the system is transitioned
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this system file that doesn't
involve rebooting the system? Mine is showing me junk...
