I'm trying to figure out why logins via KDM show up in the output of 'who'
but not in the output of 'w' (and, perhaps by extension, why they show up
in the output of the stock RedHat 6.2 finger program but not the ICSI
distributed finger program that my whole site is running).
I understand that KDM just calls sessreg, but I can't figure out what is
different between utmp entries created by login and those created by
sessreg. Can anyone perhaps give me any clues?
