xterm Logins Show Up Strangely in who, finger
The xterm that comes with XFree86 2.1 and earlier doesn't correctlyunderstand the format that Linux uses for the /var/adm/utmp file,
where the system records who is logged in. It therefore doesn't set
all the information correctly. The xterms in XFree86 3.1 and later
versions fix this problem.
