After some search, quoting you from https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2024/04/msg00493.html | Subject: Y2038-safe replacements for utmp/wtmp and lastlog | From: Chris Hofstaedtler | Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 13:12:21 +0200 [...] | you are probably aware of the time_t-64bit migration :-) | However, this does not magically transition all data formats to 64bit | times. One such instance is the set of utmp/wtmp and lastlog files. | | Thorsten Kukuk and others have been working on replacements for the | existing file formats and interfaces [1]; these are called wtmpdb | and lastlog2.
