NAME
       sessreg - manage utmpx/wtmpx entries for non-init clients

SYNOPSIS
       sessreg	[-w  wtmpx-file]  [-u  utmpx-file]  [-L	 lastlog-file]	[-l  line-name]	 [-h host-name] [-s slot-number] [-x
       Xservers-file] [-t ttys-file] [-V] [-a] [-d] user-name

DESCRIPTION
       Sessreg is a simple program for managing utmpx/wtmpx and lastlog entries for xdm sessions.

       This version of sessreg is built using the modern POSIX 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
       -s, -t, and -x flags are accepted, but ignored.

USAGE
       In Xstartup, place a call like:

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

       and in Xreset:

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

OPTIONS
       -w wtmpx-file
	      This  specifies  an  alternate wtmpx file, instead of /var/log/wtmp.  The special name "none" disables writing
	      records to the wtmpx file.

       -u utmpx-file
	      This specifies an alternate utmpx file, instead of /var/run/utmp.	 The special name  "none"  disables  writing
	      records to the utmpx file.

       -L lastlog-file
	      This specifies an alternate lastlog file, instead of /var/log/lastlog, if the platform supports lastlog files.
	      The special name "none" disables writing records to the lastlog file.

       -l line-name
	      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.

       -h host-name
	      This is set to indicate that the session was initiated from a remote host.  In typical xdm usage, this options
	      is not used.

       -s slot-number
	      This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in this version of sessreg.

       -x Xservers-file
	      This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in this version of sessreg.

       -t ttys-file
	      This option is accepted for compatibility, but does nothing in this version of sessreg.

       -V     This option causes the command to print its version and exit.

       -a     This session should be added to utmpx/wtmpx.

       -d     This session should be deleted from utmpx/wtmpx.	One of -a/-d must be specified.
