This is caused by a disagreement between X11's "sessreg" program and
FreeBSD w/uptime. If you're using kdm, you can change this by tweaking
sessreg's invocation in /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup to something
like:
exec sessreg -a -l console -h $DISPLAY -x /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xservers -u /var/run/utmp $USER
You'll also have to tweak /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xreset to
remove the sessreg utmp entry:
exec sessreg -d -l console -h $DISPLAY -x /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xservers -u /var/run/utmp $USER
Alternatively you can remove the sessreg invocation in both files, or
perhaps fix w/uptime to not display errors (since Linux & Solaris
handles sessreg's utmp entries just fine).
Cheers.
