: HP changed the format of the utmp file with 7.0.  We had this problem
: on our 9000/800's.  Anything that writes to utmp must be recompiled to
: work with 7.0.  You must have some software somewhere that is doing this.
: screen?  X from pd?  some homebrew package?  Find it and recompile it.

Some commerical packages such as the LAT emulator from KNET also need to be
upgraded to run under HP-UX 7.0.  According to them, we are the first people
to actually try it.
