Maybe your attempts to configure this intefere with the Debian setup?
Debian has fixed the utmp problem already, at least if you use kdm or xdm. 
I think that this is the case with wdm, too. Have a look at

/etc/X11/wdm/Xstartup

If it contains some lines like

# Insert a utmp entry for the session
if grep -q ^use-sessreg /etc/X11/wdm/wdm.options; then
  exec sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -u /var/run/utmp -x /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers \ 
$USER
  # NOTREACHED
fi


at the bottom, then you should not need to do anything mentioned in the 
above document.


Derek and/or Jim, maybe it should be noted in the tutorial that the utmp 
update works out of the box in Debian, so that users don't need to fiddle 
with it?
