Hi,

I have encountered a strange problem and I don't know whether it was 
intended to be like that or some program has changed the configuration...

I made my box partly with "cd instant-workstation; make install clean" 
and have now installed:

XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
XFree86-FontServer-4.2.0
XFree86-Server-4.2.0_2
XFree86-clients-4.2.0_2
    and
kde-3.0_1

With kdm for the login screen, I got strange output with "w" or "who" 
(TTY name unreadable - e.g. "wall" doesn't work anymore), but that 
program at least left some trace in wtmp.

When I switched "back" to xdm, it all got worse: now I have no "w"/"who" 
output at all, and absolutely no trace in wtmp.

Can someone please tell me what settings I need to change to get these 
programs back to work?

Thanks in advance.

k.j.
