<title>Creating the /var/run/utmp, /var/log/wtmp and /var/log/btmp
files</title>
<para>Programs like login, shutdown, uptime and others want to read from and
write to the /var/run/utmp, /var/log/btmp and /var/log/wtmp. These files contain
information about who is currently logged in. They also contain information
on when the computer was last booted and shutdown and a record of the
bad login attempts.</para>
<para>Create these files with their proper permissions by running the
following commands:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>touch /var/run/utmp /var/log/{btmp,lastlog,wtmp} &&
chmod 644 /var/run/utmp /var/log/{btmp,lastlog,wtmp}</userinput></screen></para>
