I seem to remember when I installed it, there were some instructions 
about moving the locations of utmp and wtmp files and creating links
to those locations in all other places.  I did that part and had no
problems.  The problem you're having sounds like it could be just that.
I can't remember which instructions those were or I'd name the exact file,
but I believe it's in one of the release.* files.

Peter.
