Guys, Is anyone seeing ghosts left by gdm? When I log into my machine via gdm (gdm 2, the current one in unstable), gdm creates an entry in /var/run/utmp. Now, after I log out, the entry still exists.
For example, the following run of the "who" command took place after I logged out from my Gnome session: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ who peloy ttyp0 May 7 10:44 (10.10.10.10) peloy ttyp0 May 7 09:30 (:0.0) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tty /dev/ttyp0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ See how an login from :0.0 still exists. The login from 10.10.10.10 is a SSH session. Even if I stop gdm (and no X is running), this :0.0 entry stays there. After the gnome-terminal "ghost" saga, and now this, you can tell I hate ghosts in my machine. One reason I dislike this so much is that I use biff and comsat to get asynchronous notification of incoming mail, and if the system things there are more than one person logged on the same tty then comsat will write more than once to the terminal when a new e-mail arrives. Very annoying. Anyone else seeing something similar? If someone else is seeing this I'll open a bug in upstream's Bugzilla about this. Cheers, Eloy.-
