Strange... I use it here (FreeBSD-2.1.5 , hand-patched 2.1.6) and it
runs perfectly!
Note however that connect times are lost each month (when /etc/monthly runs).

Maybe you don't have read permissions on /var/log/wtmp* or the directory
/var/log is locked (mode 700)...

In any case, run the /etc/monthly. It should fix the perms.
