Konsole does not update utmp

["Lambacher, CK" <lambacck@ieeesb.eng.mcmaster.ca>]

I discovered an old message on this list saying that was a good thing.
Why is that?  It means that who,w do not show the correct information and
talk,write,logname do not work at all.

Wnat is the suggested course of action for making those programs work?

Thanks,
Chris
