Bug#526461: kwrited module do not work - no shutdown message show up
Package: konsole
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2
Severity: important
User: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
Usertag: debian-edu
The kwrited module in KDE is supposed to pass on wall messages to the
user. This is important when for example a shutdown request is
running and is announcing a future shutdown. This message need to
reach logged in console users, also if they do not use any terminal
programs. This do not happen. I believe it is related to bug
#103864, based on the comments I found on
<URL:http://markmail.org/message/66tip4jmunuwandi>. The problem seem
to be the access to the utmp file. Please fix kwrited, as it is vital
in a school environment to let the users know that their computer is
going to shut down.
