who manpage says:

   If  FILE is not specified, use /var/run/utmp.  /var/log/wtmp as FILE is
   common.  If ARG1 ARG2 given, -m presumed: 'am i'  or  'mom  likes'  are
   usual.

   Behavior is:
 
access("/var/run/utmpx", F_OK)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/var/run/utmp", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
access("/var/run/utmpx", F_OK)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/var/run/utmp", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
close(1)                                = 0
close(2)                                = 0
exit_group(0)                           = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++

Can "who" be fixed to check the paths as documented in the manpage?
How they are listed in the manpage works on my system.
