   BTW, FWIW, including audit in the kernel enables this
command to work, though "who" is still snafu'd...
That's a more complicated issue as not only has
the login table moved, but it's maintenance has been moved
to systemd...

Would have been nice if they'd updated the standalone version to
work and had systemd use that, but .. it's part of the
systemd-lockin-mentality.
