Very Computer

I am running RH5 and I have several X terminals networked. I also have
a FreeBSD machine.

I am trying to make xdm add utmp entrys so I can use 'w' to view who
has logged into their X termial. I have added entrys in xdm-config
to use Xstartup and Xreset. In these files I have calls to sessreg.

/usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -x /var/db/Xservers.sessreg $USER

The utmp entry is added but as soon as the Xstartup script
is complete w will no longer report the utmp entry. who still works.

Why does this happen.

Linux machine
bash$ w
 10:20am  up  1:40h,  2 users,  load average: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00

daryl    ttyp1   8:51am   0:00   0:01   0:00 w
bash$ who
daryl    ttyp1    Jul  3 08:51 (bigd)
logtst   da23:0  Jul  3 08:52 (da23.ci.com.au:0)

Doing the same thing on my FreeBSD machine runs flawlessly. eg:

bash$ w
logtst            da23:0  Jul  3 07:39   (da23:0)
bash$ who

logtst   mor da23:0           Fri08AM     0 -
