[mosh-devel] mosh and utmp on athena.dialup.mit.edu

[Jonathon Weiss]

Hello all,

Following up on a zephyr conversation I had with Keith and others
about a week ago, I was wondering why mosh logins don't appear in the
output of "who" or "w" on the athena.dialup.mit.edu servers.  We got
as far as confirming that utempter was setgid utmp:

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 10104 Oct  5  2012 /usr/lib/utempter/utempter

oh, these files also appear to me ot have reasonable permissions:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 190080 Feb 23 17:47 /var/run/utmp

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 2704128 Feb 23 17:45 /var/log/wtmp

-rw-rw---- 1 root utmp 992640 Feb 23 17:25 /var/log/btmp

Anything you can suggest to check?  Anyhting I can do to help debug?
