xdm runs Xstartup on behalf of the user. Or, at least it's supposed to.
Xstartup should then call sessreg which should invoke wtmp and utmp.
However, it's possible to bypass wtmp/utmp by passing "-w none" to
sessreg, in which case "w" won't show the login. What does your Xstartup
say?

Subject: xdm-config for :0 doesn't call Xstartup?

Hello.
I found that xdm-config has the following lines
DisplayManager*startup: /usr/lib64/X11/xdm/Xstartup
DisplayManager._0.startup: /usr/lib64/X11/xdm/GiveConsole
As I understand, that means GiveConsole is run instead of Xstartup,
so sessreg is not called, and I do not see my login in "w" output.
I am sure this is how it worked for decades, so it could be that I
misunderstand something.
Is it a bug?
Ilya.
