problem with who

[Massimiliano Cialdi]

I use debian woody with kernel 2.4.17, gnome and gnome-terminal.

who doesn't report anything, as nobody was logged in.
I use --login option of gnome-terminal but nothing.
Even if I use "su -" it doesn't report nothing.

the files utmp and wtmp have the following permissions

-rw-rw-r--    1 root     utmp         5376 Feb  5 16:02 /var/run/utmp
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     utmp        77568 Feb  5 15:45 /var/log/wtmp

any suggestion?

thanks
