Sessreg is a simple program for managing utmpx/wtmpx and lastlog entries
for xdm sessions.
This version of
sessreg is built using the modern POSIX
pututxline(3c) interfaces, which no longer require the slot-number,
ttys-file, or Xservers-file mappings. For compatibility with older versions
and other operating systems, the
-s,
-t, and
-x flags are
accepted, but ignored.
In Xstartup, place a call like:
sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER
and in Xreset:
sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER
-
-w wtmpx-file
- This specifies an alternate wtmpx file, instead of
/var/log/wtmp. The special name "none" disables writing
records to the wtmpx file.
-
-u utmpx-file
- This specifies an alternate utmpx file, instead of
/var/run/utmp. The special name "none" disables writing
records to the utmpx file.
-
-L lastlog-file
- This specifies an alternate lastlog file, instead of
/var/log/lastlog, if the platform supports lastlog files. The
special name "none" disables writing records to the lastlog
file.
-
-l line-name
- This describes the "line" name of the entry. For
terminal sessions, this is the final pathname segment of the terminal
device filename (e.g. ttyd0). For X sessions, it should probably be the
local display name given to the users session (e.g. :0). If none is
specified, the terminal name will be determined with ttyname(3) and
stripped of leading components.
-
-h host-name
- This is set to indicate that the session was initiated from
a remote host. In typical xdm usage, this options is not used.
-
-s slot-number
- This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing
in this version of sessreg.
-
-x Xservers-file
- This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing
in this version of sessreg.
-
-t ttys-file
- This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing
in this version of sessreg.
- -V
- This option causes the command to print its version and
exit.
- -a
- This session should be added to utmpx/wtmpx.
- -d
- This session should be deleted from utmpx/wtmpx. One of
-a/-d must be specified.
