Package: killer Version: 0.90-8 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: debian-edu
I had a closer look at killer and how it work, and for console users (ie people with 'console', ':0' or 'tty?' listed as the 'source' in the utmp file it will try to figure out the time since the last activity from the user by stat-ing the devices '/dev/ps2mouse', '/dev/ps2kbd', '/dev/mouse', '/dev/kbd' and '/dev/input/mice'. But in Wheezy, at least when I test, neither of these devices change access times when the mouse and keyboard is used. This killer have no idea about the idle time of X users in Wheezy, and is only usable for tty users. This limit the usefullness of this package to machines without X or where the users log in via for example ssh. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
