When I did a security review on Solaris two years ago, one of the items I
checked was to verify permission for both files /var/adm/utmp and
/var/adm/utmpx are equal to 644.

I now forgot what was reason behind it. Also, it seems like I cannot find
these two files in the AIX environment. Does AIX has a different file name
for the logging files?

Please advise.

AIX uses /etc/utmp
