AAARGGGGHHH In the Nae of the Wee Man what posessed Poettering to place a
strange file name in /lib/systemd/system which stops you grepping in that
rather vital directory...
Looks like the utmp file should be created by the service
systemd-update-utmp.service
Iwill investigate on my system, clearly this is not one for this list, sorry

Thanks Sumit. Rather bizzarely my workstation has no /var/run/utmp
file.
I rebooted yesterday - you would think a file like that would be created
at boot time if it did not exist. Weird!
