@Scott: could this be upstart-related?

I am not completely aware of a security implication of this bug, but possibly the non correct update of utmp by (?) program would lead to some race condition and may be security bug in other applications. I just tagged security, to draw dev attentions, becuase it could be server related, too. ** Also affects: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: security -- tty login sessions do not correctly get updated in /var/run/utmp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: - Binary package hint: login util-linux (getty) ? + Binary package hint: login util-linux (getty) ? coreutils (who) ? + The list of programs which rely on utmp may be very long, the one of those which modify it is shorter but as I am not into base sysadmin I do not know exactly. It is best to list the steps to reproduce: 1) from X go to tty2 CTRL+ALT+F2 and login (me as user tst) 2) logout from tty2 (with `exit`) 3) go to tty1 and login (again me as user tst) 4) then I check the list of (active) sessions (with some common admin commands) From this I can clearly see that /var/run/utmp does not get correctly updated, while /var/log/wtmp yes, so programs which rely on utmp file only may get misleaded..
