Description Ben Smithurst 1999-10-13 05:00:00 UTC
ruptime(1) doesn't show hosts in the output list at all if they have
been down for four days or more [*], yet the manpage does not document this
behaviour.

[*] as shown by the code

...
#define LEFTEARTH(h)            (now - (h)->hs_wd->wd_recvtime > 4*24*60*60)
...
        for (i = 0; i < nhosts; i++) {
                hsp = &hs[i];
                if (LEFTEARTH(hsp))
                        continue;
...

Fix: 

(sorry, this is against the -stable version, not -current, but that's
all I have here.)--sJgfuSYrnSdYyjUXFSA36VSCW8kGZn1OqsQcTHaIGIJkYYr0
