    204   <para os="f">The <command>login</command>, <command>agetty</command>, and
    205   <command>init</command> programs (and others) use a number of log
    206   files to record information such as who was logged into the system and
    207   when. However, these programs will not write to the log files if they
    208   do not already exist. Initialize the log files and give them
    209   proper permissions:</para>

    215   <para>The <filename>/var/run/utmp</filename> file records the users
    216   that are currently logged in. The <filename>/var/log/wtmp</filename>
    217   file records all logins and logouts. The
    218   <filename>/var/log/lastlog</filename> file records when
    219   each user last logged in. The <filename>/var/log/btmp</filename> file
    220   records the bad login attempts.</para>
