Package: xinit Version: 1.0.7-2 Severity: normal For those of us who choose not to start X every boot using xdm, we don't get the X session being logged in the wtmp database like it does from xdm.
Because X can be started and the parent shell subsequently exited, the lack of an entry in wtmp gives the sysadmin a false impression that noone is actually logged into the system when it comes time for them to do maintenance and rebooting. xdm has its mechanism in /etc/X11/xdm/{Xstartup,Xreset} to log the details using sessreg - it would be good if startx could make use of a similar scheme too. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xinit depends on: ii cpp 4:4.2.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii x11-common 1:7.3+10 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc xinit recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
