Seems there might be a bug in the patch. I believe the first #endif below
should actually be an #else

+#ifdef HAVE_HOST_IN_UTMP
if (bufsize > sizeof(wt.ut_host) + 1)
bufsize = sizeof(wt.ut_host) + 1;
strncpy(buf, wt.ut_host, bufsize - 1);
buf[bufsize - 1] = 0;
+#endif /* HAVE_HOST_IN_UTMP */
+ buf[0] = 0;
+#endif /* HAVE_HOST_IN_UTMP */


Also, on Solaris 2.6 it seems you must specify --with-utmpx on your
./configure command or the program will fail to compile in bsd-login.c due
to ut_host not being defined. I don't know if this is a bug or an
oversight on my part.

Probably my fault. I am going to release pre20 today which
includes Ben Taylor's cleanup of the utmp/utmpx stuff.
