w command shows incorrect idle time and missing logins
Some sessions are completely missing from "w" output, as here:
$ tty
/dev/pts/2
$ w
06:56:54 up 25 min, 1 user, load average: 0.35, 0.38, 0.34
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
xxx tty2 06:31 25:51 0.21s 0.21s /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland
$
Or (via an ssh session here) idle time is wrong and TTY is missing (idle should be zero and WHAT should be w):
$ w
06:58:49 up 2 days, 19:08, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
xxx 06:58 3:31 0.00s 0.03s sshd: xxx [priv]
I am running Fedora 40, and this seems to have started in 4.0.4, as 4.0.3 in Fedora 39 did not have this problem.
