 How do your users log in (telnet, ftp, ssh, X, ...)?
 
 Can you check the permissions on utmp - here they are:
 
 % ls -lo /var/run/utmp
 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  - 2552 May  4 09:22 /var/run/utmp

Most likely pilot error; *a lot* more people would be complaining otherwise. 
If it is indeed a problem, please file another PR with a lot more details.
