> not everyone uses xterm. personally, i use kvt. I stick to software that doesn't crash. But, if kvt is your choice, then you'd need to see if it's a functional replacement for xterm and make further decisions based on that. Whenever somebody uses a non-standard program, then they just have to live with the ways it might not do what the old one did. For instance, I use qmail (and have for a long time), but it means that all the millions of experts on sendmail have nothing to offer me if I have a problem. (I don't, but that's beside the point here.) > it might be a better > idea to "fix" w/who/finger to gather information based on what ttys are in > use or something to that effect rather than what's in the *tmp logs. Those programs are not broken and don't need to be fixed. The utmp file has a purpose and it's up to those programs that ought to update it to do so. -- Greg Black <gjb@acm.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
