gnome-terminal not registering as logged in
Submitted by han..@..et.com
Description
Package: gnome-terminal Version: 1.0.7-1 (gnome-core)
I' m not sure if this is a "bug" or not but I figured that you
would be the best people to ask about this. I'm running Rad Hat Linux 6.0 and GNOME with the updates released in July. I've noticed that when I use the gnome-terminal to do command-line things that isn't being recorded as a login. I'll login to my system as root and open several gnome-terminals to do command-line work in. With those gnome-terminals open finger correctly shows all open gnome-terminals with their login times being the time the window was opened. However, when root logs out and I login using my normal user account I do a finger root and it says that root has never logged in. If I telnet to my machine and logout then the last login time is correct. So it seems that gnome-terminal isn't recording something correctly when it's closed. I've tried gnome-terminal command-line switches: --utmp, --wtmp, and --login to see if that would help but no luck. I'm not even exaclty sure what those options do because my gnome-terminal User's Guide isn't where it's supposed to be (Netscape says so). I would really appreciate any help you could offer on this bug or not.

Could you try the 'last' command, does that show the expected information?
