and 
$ rxvt -ls
to make a login shell???

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-11-14 12:28:31 UTC

that doesn't work either, but since you asked me this, can i assume
it *does* work on your testmachines?
rxvt has the same problem in redhat 8.

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2002-11-14 13:08:18 UTC

there is no rxvt in 8...
but you are right... rxvt should use utempter
so rxvt +ut -ls should work...

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2003-03-10 15:07:25 UTC

there should be an erratum soon, which will fix the issue... watch out for
#84587 to get closed.
