	FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE (a.out support is installed)

>Description:

	

    Call to login(3) that is maden from a.out binary makes the old-style
    utmp-record in /var/log/wtmp with size of 36 bytes instead of 44 bytes. 
    Then, /var/log/wtmp can't be used in ordinary way (e.g., by last(1)).

>How-To-Repeat:

	

    Originally, problem was taken with mgetty-1.1.11. mgetty was maden under
    FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE.

>Fix:
	
	
    
    Recompile & go to ELF :-)

 Close this. The fix has been stated. (Go to ELF binaries).
