<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. It also contains 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>
<blockquote><literallayout>
<userinput>touch /var/run/utmp /var/log/wtmp \</userinput>
<userinput> /var/log/btmp
/var/log/lastlog &&</userinput>
<userinput>chmod 644 /var/run/utmp /var/log/wtmp \</userinput>
<userinput> /var/log/btmp /var/log/lastlog
</userinput>
</literallayout></blockquote>
