Mandriva Advisories

Package name xinitrc
Date June 14th, 2007
Advisory ID MDKA-2007:057
Affected versions 2007.1
Synopsis Updated xinitrc packages correct xdm scripts

Problem Description

The xdm scripts from the xinitrc package were not calling the
sessreg utility, which is responsible for recording user logins on
wtmp, correctly. This would prevent logins being registered when in
graphical mode. This update corrects the problem.
