>Description:
	From utmp.5:
	``Next, the login program opens the file wtmp, and appends the user's
	utmp record.  The same utmp record, with an updated time stamp is
	later appended to the file when the user logs out''
	The ``same utmp record'' : hardly.  init wipes the username and
	hostname fields. (ie. in clear_session_logs() in sbin/init/init.c)
>How-To-Repeat:
	read man page
>Fix:
	Try some more accurate wording.
