8 wtmp grows without limit - ID: 1553497

Last Update: Settings changed ( giraldeau )

Details:

Symptomes :
The terminal does not get a new application server nor
setxkbmak fail.

Reason:
/var/log/wtmp grows and fill the tmpfs partition.
Nothing can be written into tmpfs, like the xdm server
and such.

Fix :
We know that the terminal behave correctly if you
erease and recreate the wtmp file. Reboot the terminal
works too.

Should determine what write into this file and fix it.

Definition of /var/log/wtmp according to LSB:
Log of all users who have logged into and out of the system.
The last command can be used to access a human readable form
of this file. It also lists every connection and run-level
change.

We simply have no use for this information, so a workaround
could be to simply link it to /dev/null:

rm /var/log/wtmp
ln -s /dev/null /var/log/wtmp
