Hello,
Can someone explain for what /var/log/wtmp is used ?
It seems that this file grows very quickly in our Cygwin environment, and
I
want to find out which programs write to this file. /var/log/wtmp gets
an update almost every two seconds here.
We do not use very much programs, I think this covers the complete
list :
- screen (no reference to wtmp found in info)
- bash (standard shell)
- Perl (background programs/ exec ?)
- ssh
- rxvt
- watch
Regards,
Jurgen Defurne
