Does anyone know what I need to do to get a NeXT to log console logins 
in /usr/adm/wtmp under NeXTstep 2.2?  Right now the only logins that 
are logged are tty logins.

My machine used to do it, but it was rebuilt from CD and ever since it
doesn't log console logins.  Is there a switch somewhere in
loginwindow or do I need to create my own loginhook program to write
to wtmp?

Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated. I haven't been able to find 
anything in any of the NeXT documentations, NextAnswers or recent FAQs
that mention this specifically.

Please reply to aherskow@alleg.edu, our out-going news is down.  I
will post a summary if others are interested.
