I'll take a look at it.

Imho this just requires straight-forward porting of these functions from
NetBSD (src/lib/libc/gen/utmpx.c and src/include/utmpx.h).

Salute!

I have a very fundamental port here:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/~beket/dragonfly.git/shortlog/refs/heads/utmpx

The thing is that the userland utilities must be switched to use it utmpx rather
than what they use now (utmp?). Such as login, w, shutdown, etc

Cheers,

I agree that the userland utilities have to be switched from utmp, too, but
the first step is to get utmpx working, tested and commited (probably not
until the release has been branched/tagged, though).
Once that is done we can easily take care of all current consumers of utmp.

Ok, I'm reviving (rebasing on top of master/HEAD) the utmpx port.

Cheers,
Stathis

Now that the release has been tagged, I think the basic utmpx infrastructure in
your branch should be commited so we can start switching the utmp consumers to
utmpx.

I did some work on this back then but haven't continued since. If anyone else
wants to take this over, see [1] for what was done and what wasn't. Overall it's
not too hard; it's mostly about updating pam a bit.

Cheers,

Actually I am having another go at this and it's looking good; I'll probably be
able to commit the utmpx and related support stuff, as well as modified base
utils to make use of utmpx within the next few weeks.
