Re: Should be wtmp considered as successor of who(1)?

It looks like, that wtmp is an well alternative to who(1).  For that
the command

 $> last -p now

should be able to use in the future.  But the developers at upstream
of wtmpdb persist in the opinion that wtmp has nothing to do with
utmp before merging PR#36.

They are correct.

Now, I have not the guts to ask them, if they would like to implement
an own who(1) utility.

I think that would be wrong.
