Description of problem:
If user switches to terminal (Ctrl+Alt+Fx) use it and then exits, this terminal stays listed in sessions to switch to
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.switch to terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F2)
2.enter username and password
3.logout
4.kde->switch user
Actual results:
"user: TTY login (vt2)" is listed even if session has been already terminated
Expected results:
only active sessions are listed
Additional info:
if you repeat above steps, you can achieve "user: TTY login (vt2)" to be listed twice (three times, four...)

Confirmed.
Interesting, I wonder by what method kde uses to determine users logged
into tty's... either that's broken or console logins are.
"last" gives interesting results for me:
rdieter1 tty2 ... Wed nov 5 08:52 gone - no logout
except, I *did* logout.

I'm in work now, where I have kde 4.1.3 packages from updates-testing
and it doesn't work for me. Still the "same" problem.
I think there is (maybe) one difference: If I try to switch user via
"start"->Switch user and select tty console, it starts new session with
kdm as if I select "start new session". If I try to switch via screen
saver lock or via kdm, it "works" as usual. I don't know if this is new
change or if it was working this way already.
I can test also on system updated without updates-testing today later if
you want.

It seems that /sbin/init from upstart does not care about utmp at all.
(Note that mingetty(8) and login(1) can create a new utmp entry on systems
where init(8) is broken, but init(8) has to set the entry to DEAD_PROCESS
state when user logout and login process has exited).
See utmp man page:
The first entries ever created result from init(8) processing inittab(5).
Before an entry is processed, though, init(8) cleans up utmp by setting
ut_type to DEAD_PROCESS, clearing ut_user, ut_host, and ut_time with null
bytes for each record which ut_type is not DEAD_PROCESS or RUN_LVL and where
no process with PID ut_pid exists. If no empty record with the needed ut_id
can be found, init(8) creates a new one. It sets ut_id from the inittab,
ut_pid and ut_time to the current values, and ut_type to INIT_PROCESS.
mingetty(8) (or agetty(8)) locates the entry by the PID, changes ut_type to
LOGIN_PRO- CESS, changes ut_time, sets ut_line, and waits for connection to be
established. login(1), after a user has been authenticated, changes ut_type
to USER_PROCESS, changes ut_time, and sets ut_host and ut_addr. Depending on
mingetty(8) (or agetty(8)) and login(1), records may be located by ut_line
instead of the preferable ut_pid.
When init(8) finds that a process has exited, it locates its utmp entry by
ut_pid, sets ut_type to DEAD_PROCESS, and clears ut_user, ut_host and ut_time
with null bytes.
Reassignig to upstart.

Created attachment 344797
utmp patch
It fixes problem with tty logins which stays in sessions list.
It adds new stanza - utmp - and writes utmp entries and wtmp log
as described in utmp(5).
Needs to add "utmp <id>" to /etc/event.d/tty<id>
Tested againts F10 and devel branch

Historically /sbin/init in upstart hasn't directly altered utmp. The
upstart runlevel command does the utmp editing by itself.
Following that pattern, the right way is to create a helper.

Finally init will maintain INIT_PROCESS and DEAD_PROCESS entries in utmp

I can't imagine how this helper should work. Do you have any idea about
that?
Anyway it has to be somehow handled by init. There should be set line
with INIT_PROCESS and right pid (of new process) before running new
getty (or another tty process).
> I would greatly prefer to not change the job syntax if at all possible.
It's a way how to tell init what id (representing terminal name suffix)
use when writes to utmp line with INIT_PROCESS before exec to getty as
long as we don't use inittab for that.

what do you think about this:
create something called utmp-helper (compat/sysv/utmp-helper.c) with
usage:
utmp-helper --id <terminal suffix> -- <command for what we need utmp
handling>
utmp-helper will do fork(), in child it will save pid of new process, id
and INIT_PROCESS to utmp table, call setsid() for controlling tty and
execv() to <command for what we need utmp handling>, in parrent it will
wait() until child terminates, then set DEAD_PROCESS into utmp table and
log to wtmp log.
and then exec line in /etc/event.d/tty* will be changed to:
exec utmp-helper --id 1 -- /sbin/mingetty tty1

add utmp_clean_id and call it from post-stop stanza
another helper suggestion:
call umtp_clean_id in post-stop stanza, eg for /etc/event.d/tty2:
post-stop exec /sbin/utmp_clean_id 2
utmp_clean_id is simple utility which cleans (sets type to DEAD_PROCESS
and nulls other rows) lines with given id and type LOGIN_PROCESS or
USER_PROCESS.
these patch is related to initscripts that provides /etc/event.d/tty*

set DEAD_PROCESS for died proccess with pid in utmp table
(with this patch) init tries to find utmp entry for each tracked process
which died. If entry is found, it sets type to DEAD_PROCESS and logs to
wtmp log.
mingetty takes care about setting INIT_PROCESS/LOGIN_PROCESS itself.
There is no need to change anything else like it was in previous
patches.
