=You're using an xterm and/or xdm that has been compiled for FreeBSD
=3.0-current (after the utmp.h changes went in), but are using an older
=version of the system.
Well, I'm doing the opposite with the same result:
FreeBSD rtfm.ziplink.net 3.0-970118-SNAP FreeBSD 3.0-970118-SNAP #0: Sat Jan 25 00:32:07 EST 1997 root@rtfm.ziplink.net:/ccd/src/sys/compile/RTFM i386
Yet my w's output is even worse:
w: /dev//sí2ttyp6: No such file or directory
Although, I remember it being similar to Martti's two days ago. This and
ld.so is what's giving me problems after the 3.0 install...
And w is fresh:
-r-xr-sr-x 2 bin kmem 16384 Jan 25 11:33 /usr/bin/w
Is not X using the _shared_ libraries to write to utmp? Then why are
those libraries not substituted with new versions in 3.0?
