Last time I checked, any session with the GUI (GDM) updates.
OK, so no problem there. For future reference, GDM depends on one
of its PreSession scripts to run a program called 'sessreg' to update
wtmp and utmp. The script leaves a record of that activity in
$HOME/.xsession-errors, you can look there to see if anything went
wrong.
It seems
and 'pts' connection does not get pushed to /var/run/utmp. Also by
stale I mean the contents. This time stamp on the file is old and will
not update. Perms are 664 root:utmp and current time stamp is the last
time the server came up.
But I thought you said that GDM logins updated utmp correctly.
As far as pts logins are concerned, gnome-terminal has a profile
setting that says whether it should act as a login terminal or not.
That decides whether it will attempt to update utmp/wtmp when it
starts. If your users have that option turned off then they won't
get utmp records when they launch a terminal window.
I should re-state this: It will not update for SSH connections,
console, etc. any connection not dependent on GDM.
