utmpd

The utmpd daemon monitors /var/adm/utmpx (and /var/adm/utmp in earlier versions of Solaris) to ensure that utmp entries inserted by non-root processes by pututxline(3C) are cleaned up on process termination.

Two entries in /etc/default/utmpd are supported:

• SCAN_PERIOD - The number of seconds that utmpd sleeps between checks of /proc to see if monitored processes are still alive. The default is 300.

• MAX_FDS - The maximum number of processes that utmpd attempts to monitor. The default value is 4096 and should never need to be changed.
