Hello, After digging through ltsp mail archives i could make last, who, w commands operate properly in ltsp environment.
I modified the files sessenv, GiveConsole, TakeConsole, xdm-config for this purpose. The details are given below. The following sites were useful. 1. Derek Dresser's tips on ltsp contrib site. 2. Knowing exactly who is currently logged-in. David Johnston. http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03434.html 3. Knowing exactly who is currently logged-in - Solved Philip A.
