Re: [Plug] help! /var/log/wtmp keeps growing!

I dont quite get it I dont think. Its a binary file, so if you want to
restructure it, you may need to write your own utility. If its a
matter of space, rotate the log and start a new one then either gzip or
delete the old one. Or have a look at the getutent man page.

When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
