Hi There,
I installed SFu 3.0 on Win2K server. After a few months, C: drive is almost out-of-diskspace. It turned out C:\SFU\var\adm\wtmpx is growing significantly. Is there anyway to set it to roll over at certain size better yet just disable it? Please help. I searched every shere for an answer without any luck. Thanks.

There's a program called /bin/mvwtmpx which you can use to rename the wtmpx file and a new (empty) one will be created in its place.
Then you can delete the old one (using /bin/rm).
To automate this, you do the same thing that is done on most UNIX systems: you (in your role as system administator), write a script to perform these commands and then schedule the script to run periodically using crontab.
