This probably isn't a big deal, but it's good form to update it whenever ptys are allocated and freed. >How-To-Repeat: Launch "kvt", then type "who" or "w". >Fix: This patch to kvt/utmp.c turns on the correct code to update utmp for BSD systems. These three macros should probably be set in kdebase/config.h but I'm not familiar enough with the configure system to know the right files to modify. utmp will only be updated if kvt is setuid-root. If it isn't, then it won't be updated. I don't know if the default install should setuid kvt to root or not, but given that all the screen-savers are installed that way, it may as well. *** kvt/utmp.c-org Fri May 15 19:31:35 1998 --- kvt/utmp.c Fri May 15 19:32:49 1998 *************** *** 73,78 **** --- 73,82 ---- #include <stdio.h> #include <memory.h> + #define UTMP_SUPPORT + #define BSD + #define TTYTAB "/etc/ttys" + void cleanutent(void); void makeutent(char *); >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
