Description J.R. Oldroyd 2007-11-05 03:10:01 UTC

When logging in from xdm(1), utmp entries with a ttyname of ":0", ":1", ...
are made by an invocation of sessreg(1) in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup.
who(1) does not display these entries.  "who -q", however, does.

How-To-Repeat: Run xdm.  Log in.  Start a shell.  Run "who".

Mark this PR as suspended: I think the problem actually resides in how xdm  
registers the session in utmp. This is done by the command sessreg in  
/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup. Instead of using -l $DISPLAY -h "", I suggest 
using just -h $DISPLAY (no -l), so that xdm behaves like gdm does and adds a  
more invormative entry in utmp. 
Just in case we want to reopen this PR: Notice that w(1) is affected too.

while this is an application bug; we can support these entries without 
harm so we should
