It is handy to register the virtual-console being used by xdm when someone logs in. >How-To-Repeat: The following line from the "sessreg" man-page fails to work: sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/xdm/Xservers $USER who Something simpler like this also fails: sessreg -a -l ttyv3 bozo who >Fix: I think the UTMP support needs to be switched on when compiling this file. The file "xdm/sessreg.c" seems to turn off UTMP support for CSRG_BASED builds. I think that commenting out this line should make it work again. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
