And yes, "who /var/log/wtmp" will not work with this, too. But is this
really a required or usefull use case?
/usr/bin/last can give you the same output.
Sure, but some people use "who" for that.[1][2][3] This is partly
because "who" predates "last".
How does "last" emulate /var/log/wtmp using systemd?
Also, what about /var/log/btmp? That is, what is the systemd substitute
for "who /var/log/btmp" or "last -f /var/log/btmp"?
