Description Karel Zak 2023-02-02 14:41:19 UTC

During work on the last(1) for RHEL-8 (bug #2160321) I found that version we have in RHEL-9 also uses sprintf() instead of snprintf() to format output strings. 

It would be nice to sync this code in RHEL-9 with the upstream to make last(1) more robust.
