MacMini 10.8.5. The Unix "last" command in the terminal window is supposed to report out the wtmp file, which is the log of users who have logged in. On this particular machine, when I invoke "last", i just get

"wtmp begins Sat Marc 14, 16:18", which is, er, right now.

So wtmp is not logging, and evidently is being reset whenever I invoke last. What's going on? How do I get this to work?
