Subject:    Bug#1622: kvt doesn't create utmp(4) entry

Package: kvt
Version: 1.1.2pre

kvt doesn't create an entry in utmp(4) [at least on HP-UX 10.20]. Thus it
is invisible for the "who" command, especially "who -R am I" shows
NOTHING! Our sysadmin have some scripts which use the information from
this command and they now fail miserably :-)

If I understand the system correclty, kvt has to be setuid root to be
able to update utmp(4).

BTW: This is also true for kvt 1.1.1.

Regards,

	Stefan
