Instead, it comes with a daemon +that must be running for utmp account to be functional, and +that takes charge of the utmp data management itself; utmpx.h +primitives simply communicate with that daemon. + + See http://skarnet.org/software/utmps/ for details. + + +* Installation + ------------ + + See the INSTALL file. + + +* Contact information + ------------------- + + Laurent Bercot <ska-skaware at skarnet.org> |
