Cool deal. Never heard of btmp.
I note that wtmp on my debian boxen is owned root:utmp and has 664 perms.
chown root:utmp /var/log/btmp
chmod 644 /var/log/btmp
Don't know if that's what btmp should have. The last/lastb manpage doesn't
explicitly say. Turned in a bug report asking them to add that info to the
manpage :).
