.TH SESSREG 1 "sessreg 1.1.1" "X Version 11"
.SH NAME
sessreg \- manage utmpx/wtmpx entries for non-init clients
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B sessreg
[-w \fIwtmpx-file\fP]
[-u \fIutmpx-file\fP]
[-L \fIlastlog-file\fP]
[-l \fIline-name\fP]
[-h \fIhost-name\fP]
[-s \fIslot-number\fP]
[-x \fIXservers-file\fP]
[-t \fIttys-file\fP]

\fIuser-name\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fISessreg\fP is a simple program for managing utmpx/wtmpx and lastlog
entries for xdm sessions.
.\" __BEGIN_UTMPX_ONLY__
.PP
This version of \fIsessreg\fP is built using the modern POSIX
.BR pututxline (3c)
interfaces, which no longer require the slot-number, ttys-file, or
Xservers-file mappings.  For compatibility with older versions and other
operating systems, the \fB-s\fP, \fB-t\fP, and \fB-x\fP flags are accepted,
but ignored.
.\" __END_UTMPX_ONLY__
.SH USAGE
.PP
In Xstartup, place a call like:
.nf

       sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER

.fi
and in Xreset:
.nf

       sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER
.fi
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB-w\fP \fIwtmpx-file\fP"
This specifies an alternate wtmpx file, instead of
.BR "/var/log/wtmp" .
The special name "none" disables writing records to the wtmpx file.
.IP "\fB-u\fP \fIutmpx-file\fP"
This specifies an alternate utmpx file, instead of
.BR "/var/run/utmp" .
The special name "none" disables writing records to the utmpx file.
.IP "\fB-L\fP \fIlastlog-file\fP"
This specifies an alternate lastlog file, instead of
.BR "/var/log/lastlog" ,
if the platform supports lastlog files.
The special name "none" disables writing records to the lastlog file.
.IP "\fB-l\fP \fIline-name\fP"
This describes the "line" name of the entry.  For terminal sessions,
this is the final pathname segment of the terminal device filename
(e.g. ttyd0).  For X sessions, it should probably be the local display name
given to the users session (e.g. :0).  If none is specified, the
terminal name will be determined with ttyname(3) and stripped of leading
components.
.IP "\fB-h\fP \fIhost-name\fP"
This is set to indicate that the session was initiated from
a remote host.  In typical xdm usage, this options is not used.
.IP "\fB-s\fP \fIslot-number\fP"
.\" __BEGIN_UTMPX_ONLY__
This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in
this version of \fIsessreg\fP.
.\" __END_UTMPX_ONLY__
.IP "\fB-x\fP \fIXservers-file\fP"
.\" __BEGIN_UTMPX_ONLY__
This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in
this version of \fIsessreg\fP.
.\" __END_UTMPX_ONLY__
.IP "\fB-t\fP \fIttys-file\fP"
.\" __BEGIN_UTMPX_ONLY__
This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in
this version of \fIsessreg\fP.
.\" __END_UTMPX_ONLY__
.IP "\fB-V\fP"
This option causes the command to print its version and exit.
.IP "\fB-a\fP"
This session should be added to utmpx/wtmpx.
.IP "\fB-d\fP"
This session should be deleted from utmpx/wtmpx.  One of -a/-d must
be specified.
