I am not sure what you are telling me, please explain. Thanks!
First, I do not have the same problem that you have. So it is probably not a
bug in the OS but an installation error on your system. That is w, finger,
and who are working as expected (for me).
Second. If you want to include the status of people that logged in via xdm(1)
(or equivalent), you need to use the sessreg(1) utility in order to update
the utmp and wtmp files (those files are used by w, finger, and who to
determine the login status of users).
Also, please reply to the mailing list.

These commands use to give me information on who is logged on in BSD 5.3
now for some reason no information is given from these commands when
super users are logged on. Any info.? Thanks!!
They work on my 5.4-p2 system. Did you remember to add back sessreg if you
wanted X logins to be recorded as well?
