FWIW, Sun Ray doesn't do *anything* involving utmp directly.
Possible causes:
- Sun Ray allows more users, so may tweak a bug in Ubuntu regarding utmp
- Sun Ray ships a modified version of gdm. Although we didn't tweak utmp
handling, it *is* based on an old version of gdm that may have had a
bug in
this area (although none has yet been reported to us).
We had to modify gdm to allow for dynamic display updates. The change was
put back to the top of branch for the community gdm, so if you have the
latest
you may not need the version shipped with SRSS. Sorry I don't know the
relevant
version numbers here (e.g. version for the integration into the
community, and the
version we ship). Copying Brian, the gdm owner.

Hi all, I seem to have a minor issue w/Sunray on Ubuntu. Sunrays work
fine, however upon server reboot, after a while (not sure how long
exactly) /var/run/utmp becomes stale and will not update. Therefore
'who' yields outdated info. The 'last' command still works and
/var/log/wtmp is OK. I know this has to be related to SRSS in some
fashion because I have an identical box (hardware and software) except
it has no SRSS on it and 'who' works fine. Could SRSS somehow have
screwed up logging settings? Or uses a different file to hold the
'who' data? Also, has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
