Comment 10 for bug 873784

Hi Ray, thanks for the clarification.

Do you have any more details on the situations where the wtmp lookup "falls down"? In my experimentation related to this bug report, I've found the presence and absence of remote users to be quite erratic--sometimes remote users are listed, and sometimes not. I've yet to detect any pattern.

I'm querying the DBus interface using qdbusviewer, so it seems unrelated to the logon manager (gdm). Remote logins are very definitely present at the top of the output from the 'last' command.
