Corrupt utmp entries - how to clean up utmp?
For some unknown reason I have a corrupt /var/run/utmp. Running 'who' gives
the following output:
einstein:rogalsky> who
joerg :3 Feb 11 16:09
schuetz ttyp2 Mar 10 09:52 (:0.0)
schuetz :0 Mar 10 09:52
schuetz ttyp3 Mar 10 09:52 (:0.0)
schuetz :2 Feb 25 14:04
rogalsky ttyp6 Mar 10 14:03 (newton.physik.uni-erlangen.de)
But the two entries
joerg :3 Feb 11 16:09
schuetz :2 Feb 25 14:04
are outdated and no one is logged in on :2 or :3.
How can I get rid of them without rebooting the system?
