Hi,
I looked at this a while back and posted about it. Seems login, sshd, etc
are writing to /var/log/wtmpx as they probably should. Wuftpd however is
writing to /var/log/wtmp so it's actually the one not conforming. The
last program contains optimized code for reading wtmp files. It doesn't
use the library calls but reads wtmp and utmp directly when it should
probably read wtmpx and utmpx.
