Apparently, wtmp just keeps a log of _all_ logins. Removing that file disables this logging (I have it in proftpd.log anyways) and solved my problem!
rm /var/log/wtmp >From man wtmp: The wtmp file records all logins and logouts. (...) wtmp is maintained by login(1), init(8), and some versions of getty(8) (e.g., mingetty(8) or agetty(8)). None of these programs creates the file, so if it is removed, record-keeping is turned off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316830 Title: /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon :: memory and CPU time leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1316830/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
