264	Bootscripts: creating new /var/run/utmp doesn't work	gimli@…	gerard@…	"Hello

I've been testing the 1.1 bootscripts. So far so good! Except
for a couple of typos ""Clearning -> Clearing"" :-)

One thing that puzzled me slightly was this part of cleanfs

echo -n ""Creating new /var/run/utmp...""
touch /var/run/utmp && chmod 644 /var/run/utmp
evaluate_retval

That won't achieve anything will it? I don't see the point.
Was the intention to start a fresh utmp file every reboot?
If so then methinks it is missing a ""rm -f /var/run/utmp"".

This only updates the ""modified"" time of /var/run/utmp. It's better to use

echo -n """" >/ver/run/utmp
