We have encountered customers with heavily loaded systems that experienced
missing utmp entries for some login sessions - it turned out that the 1s timeout
is _way_ too short for them since utmp is so contended.
It appears to us that the TIMEOUT in login/utmp_file.c should be raised from 1
to 30 to provide more of a best-effort service - 30 seconds should still allow
for reasonable system operation and repair in case the utmp locking breaks down
somehow.

30 is excessive. I've bumped it to 10s.
