When run SuSEconfig to check all working seeing :.
Checking permissions and ownerships - using the permissions files
/etc/permissions
/etc/permissions.easy
/etc/permissions.d/mail-server
/etc/permissions.d/postfix
/etc/permissions.local
/var/log/btmp should be root:root 0600. (wrong owner/group root:utmp)
Finished.
To fix run
linux-xfp4:~ # **SuSEconfig --module permissions**
Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool...
Running module permissions only
Reading /etc/sysconfig and updating the system...
Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.permissions...
Checking permissions and ownerships - using the permissions files
/etc/permissions
/etc/permissions.easy
/etc/permissions.d/mail-server
/etc/permissions.d/postfix
/etc/permissions.local
setting /var/log/btmp to root:root 0600. (wrong owner/group root:utmp)
Finished.
When run SuSEconfig again, it shows OK. Stays OK for a while, then problem returns, suspect after re-starts.
No other obvious problems, do we ignore this problem, or need be concerned and keep fixing, until opensuse technical brains have chance to deal with it ?
BTW am very happy with work of technical people (many/most volunteers), after all they keep NON-Technical types like self (or worse) happily online

It might be “/etc/logrotate.d/wtmp”. Today I don’t have a 12.1 to check
what it contains. If not, there is a trick with AA to learn who is causing
it, perhaps.

For that you have to report it on bugzilla.

Surprisingly, it works.

or if the technical level here is not enough to determine if a bug
should be raised, or not…you can sure ask on the mail list and
probably find a good answer
i guess it should be logged as a bug (if you are pretty darn sure
you have not wickered incorrectly a config somewhere that caused
this–but, Carlos is on both lists and didn’t say: “log a bug”…so, i
am probably wrong)
to ask on the mail list, i’d suggest you start by looking here:
and, read the stuff about “Mailing list netiquette” if you are not
already familiar with hacker society, and then subscribe to the opensuse@opensuse.org list…
or, if you wanna just go ahead and jump into bugzilla you may (but if
you caused the problem . . .) by starting here: http://tinyurl.com/nzhq7j
