Herein lies the problem. Add a line to your /etc/rc:
/etc/ifconfig il0 broadcast
Also, this behavior of rwho and ruptime is not acceptable. We changed them
so that they send their information to a number of specifically named sites
instead of the broadcast. This allows rwho/ruptime info on networks
that don't have broadcast capability. It also allows hosts to send the info
to sites on different networks (we now have two here).
