Description of problem: When XDMCP is enabled in gdm, and multiple users log in, it appears that only the latest user is shown when doing a user listing with the w, who or users command. The output of 'last' is correct though. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable XDMCP 2. Log in 2 users 3. type w Actual results: Only the last user to log in is shown Expected results: All users logged in should be shown
Hmmm, strange, this should work. Make sure the /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default and /etc/X11/gdm/PostSession/Default are not links to TakeConsole and GiveConsole from the xdm tree. For some reason the RPM treats these as config it seems and doesn't upgrade them correctly. Perhaps there are some .rpmnew files there which will make it work.
Also linking TakeConsole and GiveConsole like that is a security risk btw since people are given /dev/console access on remote logins. Perhaps the RPM specfile should make sure that the gdm's own scripts are forced on update rather then using old TakeConsole and GiveConsole links (I don't know which version of redhat stopped doing that since the changelog in the spec file doesn't say)
Created attachment 93391 [details] PreSession file Default RedHat 9 PreSession/Default file. This is not a symlink.
Created attachment 93392 [details] PostSession file Default Redhat 9 PostSession/Default file, also not a symlink. Nothing else is in the PreSession or PostSession directories.
Weird. I get correct w and last listing with the stock RH9 RPM no matter what I do. Is there anything else that is changed about your configuration? I have used stock config from redhat but just enabled XDMCP. I have wiped the /etc/X11/gdm directory clean before installing the RPM, so I know I have exactly the config from the RPM.
I rebuilt the box a few weeks ago when we upgraded the server, and I didn't set up anything special. These are the differences from the default settings. I don't see how any of them should/could effect it. Is there anything I can do to see what is going wrong?

This is the same as bug #84026
Still happens with Fedora Core 1
Working fine in FC2 Test 3
