The KDE virtual terminal program (kvt) does not update entries in /var/run/utmp. This means that users do not appear in the 'who' and 'w' commands. With 'chmod u+s /usr/bin/kvt' the proper behaviour results, but this may not be the proper solution (e.g. xterm is NOT suid=root and it is able to update the /var/run/utmp file).
Use konsole instead. kvt is obsolete and will be removed in the next version. ------- Email From Roberto Togneri <roberto.edu.au> 12/08/99 18:17 ------- Attached to Bug # 7621.
