I have noticed this message everytime that I boot up and am not sure what to do or what it means. My system runs fine except for this message:

chgrp: invalid group name 'utmp'

this happens right after:

Code:

Cleaning /var/lock /var/run

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do you have a utmp group? Look for a line in /etc/group that looks like:

Code:

utmp:x:406:

...if not, perhaps adding it will solve the problem.
