Description valerio.daelli freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 1996-12-26 21:00:01 UTC 
	Owner of /var/rwho whould be daemon.deamon, not bin.daemon
	as installed from 2.1.6-RELEASE.

Fix: 

chown daemon.daemon /var/rwho
How-To-Repeat: 
	Install from 2.1.6-RELEASE
	start rwhod

No, it should not.  The directory is group-writable by daemon, this
suffices.

You forgot to update your master.passwd file; the primary group of
Mr. Daemon has been migrated from `guest' to `daemon' over time...

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

The owner of /var/rwho is correct, the directory is group-writable. 
The submitter needs to update the group membership of his `daemon' 
user.
