Who is logged in?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Fedora 26

$ rpm -qa xrdp
xrdp-0.9.2-12.fc26.x86_64

Please forgive if this turn out to be a tech support request, but I can not figure out how to tell who is logged in wtih XRDP. And "who" does not show them.

May we please have such a utility?

Many thanks,
-T

This is right, there is something missing in the code for adding an entry in the utmp file. I had made a patch long ago, but didn't keep it because it was an test server I could have a look again in this feature Emmanuel

Very cool! That would be great. I could stop having to call every remote logger on the phone before rebooting the server. When I forget, it makes the CRABBY!

The branch ''wtmp'' has now all the code for linux, and I use it on production server since some weeks.

[ToddAndMargo]

What is the utility called and which version will it appear in?

[moobyfr]

The code added writes directly in utmp/wtmp. there is no utility needed, last or who will show one entry per connected user. It can probably be shipped in next version

[shaneforsythe]

Is there a chance the wtmp branch will be merged into devel before the next release?

[NZJourneyMan]

Is there an update on when the wtmp branch will be merged? Our security will not allow to use xrdp in production until wtmp logging is implemented.

Here's a quick command to show who has an xrdp session running (at least if you're running systemd):

ps h -o ouid -C xrdp-sesman | xargs getent passwd | cut -d: -f1

I've had a script for a while that also gives active/disconnected status for Xvnc and just last week figured out how to do the same for Xorg. I have posted these here in case they're useful to anyone.

[ToddAndMargo]

Works. Thank you!

Pull request #1408 hopefully completes the missing parts of the wtmp/utmp PR (#1077), so if so can be merged. Once done this will mean the usual commands like who and last will work

#2745 is now merged into devel, so I'm closing this thread.
