First off, please forgive the cross-posting and the irrelevance of the topic. I'm not sure there is an appropriate mailing list for this particular question...
I'm trying to develop a quick and dirty login accounting utility which scans wtmp for information (I know, it's not the most reliable or complete, etc...), and can't seem to find any information on the significance of the tv_usec field in struct utmp.ut_tv. It seens to have values in it quite often, but they don't make much sense as durations or any of my other "guesses"...
This is a RedHat 6.0 based system, but I suspect wtmp is fairly standard across distributions...
