gdm xterminal logins and utmp

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



gdm does not update /var/run/utmp correctly when logging in via xdmcp.
The first user seems to be added correctly but all subsequent logins
replace the previous login. So 'who/w/finger' only ever shows one X
terminal style login even though there are many more.

wtmp seems to be correct. That is, last correctly shows that last and
current logins.
