Herein lies the problem.  Add a line to your /etc/rc:
	/etc/ifconfig il0 broadcast

Also, this behavior of rwho and ruptime is not acceptable.  We changed them
so that they send their information to a number of specifically named sites
instead of the broadcast.  This allows rwho/ruptime info on networks
that don't have broadcast capability.  It also allows hosts to send the info
to sites on different networks (we now have two here).
