Hi,
1. Can I safely cat wtmp, utmp, wtmpx, utmpx & lastlog without causing any log-in/system problems as these files are growing?

2. My tmp is filling up only over week-end (Sunday). I have been monitoring durring the week and /tmp/ does not change in size; its only on Sunday.
The HUGE file being created is CroutSHBa0004R. This contains lines :-
var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.5Eb/etc/default/filesys does not exit
var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.5Eb/etc/default/format does not exit
var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.5Eb/etc/default/goodpw does not exit
var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.5Eb/etc/default/login does not exit
etc
etc
etc

I don't understand as these files do exist.

Looking into the crontab file, the jobs that run on Sunday are:-

17 5 * * 0 /etc/cleanup > /dev/null
0 2 * * 0,4 /usr/lib/cron/logchecker
0 4 * * 0 /etc/custom -V syslinks;# CUSTOM_SYMLINK_REPORT

Thanks

LEARN ABOUT SUNOS

wtmpx

utmpx(4)							   File Formats 							  utmpx(4)

NAME

       utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats

SYNOPSIS

       #include <utmpx.h>
       /var/adm/utmpx
       /var/adm/wtmpx

DESCRIPTION

       The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.

       The  utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database
       contains the history of user access and accounting information for the  utmpx database.

USAGE

       Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to  inter-
       act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently.

FILES

       /var/adm/utmpx	       user access and adminstration information

       /var/adm/wtmpx	       history of user access and adminstrative information

SEE ALSO
