Some people think it was regression. So, I made this change.
It is useful that -n means don't resolve at all, as you think. And,
we already familiar with the behavior these days.
But, the commit log of 1.48 didn't say it is a reason for the change.
Then, how about this patch? It introduces -nn to resolve hostname in
utmp.
