I was going to comment on that earlier, but I've been absolutely swamped
today (well more like the last 2 weeks straight), so I didn't have the
time...  According to Stevens' APITUE* BSD-ish systems do have the
utmp directories, as well as a struct utmp... just no functions to do
anything with them.  But you apparently already know that. :)


* APITUE is _Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment_, a godsend
for anyone writing programs on Unix systems.  If you don't have a
copy, I highly recommend it.  It covers virtually every aspect of
programming on unix systems, excluding GUI stuff, and frequently
covers portability issues between SysV, BSD, POSIX, XPG, and probably
a few other standards I'm not thinking of...
