Subject: 2.2-REL xterm utmp problem
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk


It appears that the XFree86 xterm released with 2.2-RELEASE
(downloaded early 3/17/97) has (had?)  a problem in that the utmp
entries created by xterm conflict with other utilities external to
XFree (who, w, and so on).

I wrote to questions@freebsd.org after discovering the problem in my
installation, and was told by others who've experienced the problem to
recompile XFree86, which I did.  It fixed the problem.  Thanks to
those who helped.  I sincerely hope this problem has been fixed in
base 2.2-REL.

Thanks,
Rich
