The following reply was made to PR bin/35769; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Michael Wardle <michael@endbracket.net> To: "Crist J. Clark" <cjc@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: bin/35769: w does not correctly interpret X sessions Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 05:09:30 -0800 (PST) [...] > What does 'tty' return for one of these sessions? This is precisely the problem -- it is not a terminal, indeed there is no way to issue "tty". I can only issue "tty" if I start a terminal emulator, but the problem is when w tries to look directly at the X session itself, not any terminal I have spawned from within the X session. In the same way, I can't "write" a user on one of these X sessions unless they have opened a terminal emulator (such as xterm or konsole). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
