Hi, The following problem has afflicted RedHat for a while. Our /var/run/utmp file is slowly growing, seemingly without bounds. Our system is RH5.1. This happened with RH4.2. The file is now 300k in size. Obviously, certain system actions are now getting slower. The only thing we run outside the standard distribution that might mess with the utmp database, is sshd, version 1.2.25. Our utmp file is available for analysis if desired, to see what state the uncleared records are in.
