Hi,

I forgot when I noticed this curious problem... It's not so serious
but annoying. Any help is appreciated.

Situation:

1. Running 4.0-current. Uname -a says
     FreeBSD xa12.heimat.gr.jp 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #8: Sat
     Mar  4 22:36:09 JST 2000
     root@xa12.heimat.gr.jp:/export/src/sys/compile/NAKAJI  i386
   The system is upgraded by making world from 3.1-RELEASE.
2. XFree86 3.3.6 compiled by ports/x11/XFree86.
3. Xserver is X-TT.
4. Login via XDM and using sessreg to record logins into utmp.

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole is:

chown $LOGNAME /dev/console
sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers $LOGNAME
if [ -f /var/run/xdm.pids ]; then
	kill `cat /var/run/xdm.pids`
	rm -f /var/run/xdm.pids
fi

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/TakeConsole is:

/usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/xdm/Xservers $LOGNAME
chmod 622 /dev/console
chown root /dev/console

Problems:

1. w, uptime and finger complains about non-existence of /dev/:0, for
   example,

$ w
w: /dev/:0: No such file or directory
10:41PM  up 29 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.08, 0.23
USER             TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
nakaji           p1       :0.0             10:32PM     - w

2. 'sessreg -d' does not record my logout (the user is only me), that
   is,

$ LC_TIME=C last | head
nakaji           :0       console          Tue Mar  7 22:31   still logged in
nakaji           :0       console          Tue Mar  7 22:22   still logged in
nakaji           :0       console          Tue Mar  7 22:13   still logged in

   Until rebooting the system, I am always loging in on /dev/:0.

Questions:

1. Why w and so on complain, "/dev/:0: No such file or directory"?
   (Why /dev/:0 is to be opened?)
2. Is my usage of sessreg wrong?

Thanks in advance.
