Description of problem:
/usr/include/bits/utmp.h: #define UT_NAMESIZE     32

but... in last.c (from sysvinit sources) enforcese a %8.8 format mask for usernames.

Since we have longer usernames now (courtesy winbind), last has suddenly become useless.  The name of our domain is longer than 8 characters, so although the information is there in the utmp file, last can't display it!


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
SysVinit-2.85-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable winbindd
2. Set "utmp = yes" in smb.conf
3. Run "last"
4. See useless output :-(

Additional info:

Easily fixed:
    sed -e 's/%8.8/%32.2/' last.c

I'm sure that would break something else somewhere, so possibly a new command-line switch that causes printf to use "%UT_NAMESIZE.UT_NAMESIZE" instead of "%8.8" ?
