I'd just like to confirm that rxvt1.45 does work under FreeBSD. 
I have posted up some diffs for rxvt-1.45 which fix a couple of
things in the utmp support (rxvt use to hang if it wasn't run
setuid root, because it was unable to write a utmp entry).
(I have sent these diffs to Robert, and I posted them to
comp.os.386bsd.bugs yesterday).

Geoff.
