(Get the code!)
I looked into this a bit. There is a pam module that updates lastlog and wtmp (pam_lastlog(8)), which could be stacked in the lightdm pam config. It doesn't update utmp, however, and utmp is what w(1) and who(1) look at -- see the discussion at http://
I guess as it stands, lightdm needs to write the utmp entry, like login(1), since nothing else does. I also propose to add the pam_lastlog module to lightdm's stack to keep lastlog and wtmp up to date.
