Populating /var/run/utmp?


I would like to use 'w' on my Cygwin installation. I found http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg01177.html, but it only seems to work on one of my computers:

$ echo $CYGWIN
binmode tty ntsec
$ w
 13:03:11 up 5 days, 22:30,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
$

Is there a different work-around other than setting CYGWIN=tty? (Note that I am having the same *symptom*, /var/run/utmp is empty).
