last - only showing root console connections

[Ratzie]

My last command is only showing root...
I have cleared out my /var/adm/wtmp file, and if I log in, it does write to this file, but last does not show the user that logs in then out.

[Mel Burslan]

what is the permissions of your /var/adm/wtmp and its ownership ? mine is as follows:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 adm adm 24464400 Jul 9 13:57 /var/adm/wtmp

[Ratzie]

-rw-rw-r-- 1 adm adm 120 Jul 9 15:50 wtmp

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again):

The permissions for '/var/adm/wtmps?' should be 666 (-rw-rw-rw) as Mel was thinking.

Regards!

Hi (again):

I'm sorry, I was wrong. The permissions on my servers are indeed 664 with ownership and group "adm" as noted by Mel. Disregard my last post!

Regards!

[Ratzie]

Yes, I even stopped and restarted it.
