Subject: Create wtmp entry for x2go sessions

Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 16:54:20 -0600

Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.1.0.0
Severity: wishlist

X2Go should write an entry to /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp.  This would
allow currently logged inn users to be seen in the output of 'w', and 'last'
would also list previous sessions.

This could be done via either libutempter or vte.

stumbled over problems with this in Debian Edu.

The most genuine tool to get this solved is probably "sessreg". I will  
take a look at fixing this issue soonish.

Is there any hope to have X2Go register active sessions in utmp/wtmp to
allow shutdown, wall and other systems expecting correctly registered
utmp/wtmp entries to work well with X2Go?

The issue affect Debian Edu / Skolelinux,
