hello once again..
  I was just wondering about the lastlog probs that were mentioned
proeviously (where finger reports never logged in) and yes, I
changed my finger source to use the correct structure - however
I have a secondary problem as well as the finger thing:

peoples logins get written to lastlog - but their logouts never do.
This means that everyone who ever logged in (since the last reboot)
is marked as (still logged in) in the /usr/adm/lastlog file,,,
any ideas what could be doing this? I have the correct (I think)
permissions on lastlog so Im at a bit of a loss as to whats going
on here...

any help/comments apprecated!
