I seem to have run into a bit of a problem with xterms and rexec logins and maybe utmp... First of all my local xterm login shells (X started with xdm) do not show up, I have at least 4 xterms open as daniel (root is on the console not xtermed): >slave1 daniel /home/daniel > w >12:14PM up 2:35, 1 user, load averages: 0.14, 0.27, 0.26 >USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT >root v0 - 9:55AM 2:17 -csh (csh) >slave1 daniel /home/daniel > finger >Login Name TTY Idle Login Time Office Office Phone >root Charlie Root *v0 2:17 Thu 09:55 >slave1 daniel /home/daniel > who >root ttyv0 Mar 6 09:55 neither do xterm login shells started remotely via rexec or with a +ut option: >slave1 daniel /home/daniel > xterm -ls +ut >slave1 daniel /usr/home/daniel > who >root ttyv0 Mar 6 09:55 >el 3 Dec 31 18:00 >4 W >~3ttypJul 27 23:16 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what in the world is this entry? >slave1 daniel /usr/home/daniel > w >w: /dev//3: No such file or directory ^^^^^^^^^^^ and this? but if I rlogin localhost from a xterm or just on a virtual tty they seem to show up normally: >slave1 daniel /usr/home/daniel > w >12:15PM up 2:35, 2 users, load averages: 0.28, 0.29, 0.26 >USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT >root v0 - 9:55AM 2:18 -csh (csh) >daniel p3 localhost 12:15PM - w ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ it worked ?!?! I am running 2.2-Gamma but see the same sort of weirdness on 2.1.5/6 systems, any clues as to what I may have mis-configured or what is goin on? Thanks
