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 Therefore 'who' yields outdated info.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,

Thanks makes a lot of sense, I was thinking the same thing. Since it is not a hindering bug, I can live with it. I was just curious if it was known/fixable/etc. Also I failed to mention it will not update with 'pts' connections.
