Heres is what Debian GNU/Linux does (in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh):
--------------------------------
[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo -n "/var/run"
( cd /var/run && \
find . ! -type d ! -name utmp ! -name innd.pid ! -name random-seed \
! -newer /etc/mtab -exec rm -f -- {} \; )
: > /var/run/utmp
if grep -q ^utmp: /etc/group
then
chmod 664 /var/run/utmp
chgrp utmp /var/run/utmp
fi
[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "."
--------------------------------
Debian GNU/Hurd is currently doing (in /libexec/rc):
--------------------------------
if test -d /var/run; then
(cd /var/run && {
find . ! -type d ! -name utmp ! -name innd.pid ! -name random-seed \
-exec rm -f -- {} \;;
cp /dev/null utmp; chmod 644 utmp; })
fi
