State-Changed-Why:  
The owner of /var/rwho is correct, the directory is group-writable. 
The submitter needs to update the group membership of his `daemon' 
user.

 No, it should not.  The directory is group-writable by daemon, this
 suffices.
 
 You forgot to update your master.passwd file; the primary group of
 Mr. Daemon has been migrated from `guest' to `daemon' over time...
