I'm setting up a web server running on FBSD, and wish to copy the wtmp files from our main server (running BSDI) to facilitate an "hours used this month"ish script for our customers. The files copy no problem (using rdist into a different directory than /var/log) but when I run an ac -w wtmp.host user, it returns hour counts around the 50000 hour mark for any user. Any ideas on how to fix this, or an easier way to do it (I want to keep the actual processing off of the main server, and I'd like to stay away from nfs) tia Mat Trudel pomegranite@cnwl.igs.net
