           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.
