Hi all,
It seems the User::Utmp module only works when utmp is present. As of
FreeBSD 9, utmp is gone, so utmpx is the only way of accessing the user
accounting database.
The following patch makes the User::Utmp module work on FreeBSD. All
tests pass, except test 4, as FreeBSD's implementation does not offer
utmpxname(). Opening other files must be done using the setutxdb()
function, but its API is incompatible with utmpxname().

Maybe we can somehow run test 4 only when utmpxname() is present?
