Hello;

On recent BSD releases, the utmp file's name is defined in <utmp.h> as
_PATH_UTMP, not UTMP_FILE. This breaks shellutils-1.7/src/who.c which assumes
"/etc/utmp" (incorrect, now "/var/run/utmp" without compatiblity symlink on
386BSD at least) if the latter isn't defined.

The following context diff implements the right thing.

thanks.
