:Patch For: X11R6-pl3/xc/programs/xterm
:Why: To get `+ut' and `XTerm*utmpInhibit' to work,
: Without it xterm tries to create an entry in /etc/utmp.
...
This is fixed in our latest beta, XFree86 3.0D. For FreeBSD 1.1.5 we
get utmp from the system header file:
/usr/include/utmp.h:#define _PATH_UTMP "/var/run/utmp"
% strings /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm |grep /utmp
/var/run/utmp
In priciple NetBSD can do the same. Rich
