From 7d2ac8097d65c6698124abd2dda25bffd8590aa7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Petr=20P=C3=ADsa=C5=99?= Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:16:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Do not report missing utmp record to syslog If no utmp record can be found there is obviously nobody to read error message about missing TTY in sytem log in real time. Moreover the log is usually illegible for normal user. So it's pointless to log this fact there for user's sake. warnquota can be used instead.
