 NAME
      utmp, wtmp, btmp - utmp, wtmp, btmp entry format

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <sys/types.h>
      #include <utmp.h>

 DESCRIPTION
      These files, which hold user and accounting information for such
      commands as last, who, write, and login (see last(1), who(1),
      write(1), and login(1)), have the following structure as defined by
      <utmp.h>:

                #define WTMP_FILE   "/etc/wtmp"
                #define BTMP_FILE   "/etc/btmp"
                #define ut_name     ut_user

                    unsigned long   ut_addr;        /* Internet addr of host, if remote */
                };

      File btmp contains bad login entries for each invalid logon attempt.

      Note that wtmp and btmp tend to grow without bound, and should be
      checked regularly.  Information that is no longer useful should be
      removed periodically to prevent it from becoming too large.

      In the HP Clustered environment, the files utmp, wtmp, and btmp are
      context-dependent files (CDFs).  See cdf(4).  These files must be CDFs
      so that the boot-time and run-level entries represent the actual state
      of each cluster cnode.

 FILES
      /etc/utmp
      /etc/wtmp
      /etc/btmp

 AUTHOR
      utmp, wtmp, and btmp were developed by HP and the University of
      California, Berkeley.
