Bug#562640: xterm(1) man page: replace /etc/wtmp by /var/log/wtmp
Package: xterm
Version: 251-1
Severity: minor
The xterm man page says for the -ls option:
Finally, -ls is not completely ignored, because xterm -ls -e
does write a /etc/wtmp entry (if configured to do so), whereas
xterm -e does not.
There's no such file /etc/wtmp on my machine. Perhaps it should be
/var/log/wtmp as listed in the FILES section? Or should it be utmp
(as the following mentions utmp only)?
