           Summary: utmpx support missing in Solaris
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: coolo kde org
        ReportedBy: tk CeBiTec Uni-Bielefeld DE


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc version 4.1.1 
OS:                Solaris

Applications like "konsole" cannot create utmpx(4) entries on Solaris systems because kdelibs/kdecore/kpty.cpp seems to require the utempter which is usually not available on Solaris (maybe other SystemV based OSes as well?). This breaks for example Sun's mass storage device management scripts like utdiskadm(1M) (when called from konsole) which rely on logname(1).

Patch follows shortly.
