Hello Ross,

I just wish to tell you the results of my testing of your Code.
I installed libutempter-1.1.3.
The utempter program went into /usr/lib/utempter/utempter.
I put your code into /usr/sbin/utempter.
I modified UTEMPTER to point to /usr/lib/utempter/utempter.
I then brought up KDE in a User Id and had a WALL command excuted from
another Id.

The results were unfortunately just what I have always received.
I get a Beep when the WALL is executed but NO Window with the
Wall data comes up.

In order to try to debug this problem a bit, I reassembled utempter.c
and added "#define UTEMPTER_DEBUG" to it.
When I ran the test again, in the Console log, I'm getting the message:
utempter: pututline: Bad file descriptor
This is due to the failure of the pututline command on line 130 of utempter.c.

As an additional piece of information for you, I have in my /etc/fstab
the following statement:
"none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0"
I had added this statement due to someone telling me once that they thought
I needed that to get utemp to work.

I tried the test both with this statement active and with it removed
and I get the same bad results.

I'm stumped for an answer to this problem.

Any information you could give me to get this to work would be greatly
appreciated.

Yours truly,

Frank
