and group files" and renamed that section accordingly.

-<para>The <filename>/var/run/utmp</filename> file lists the users that are
-currently logged in, the <filename>/var/log/wtmp</filename> file who

-The <filename>/var/log/lastlog</filename> file shows for each user when he
-or she last logged in, and the <filename>/var/log/btmp</filename> lists the
-bad login attempts.</para>

 within the binary itself, but does this the wrong way. If a
 <userinput>passwd</userinput> binary is not present before installing Shadow,
