LYNX-DEV bug or "feature"? :-) |

I have noticed one problem with the version of lynx I am using (2.7.1. w/
FOTEMODS from around 7/20 or so...). Most programs update the access time
of the user's tty anytime a key is pressed by the user. This is how 'w'
calculates the idle time: by comparing the access time of the users' ttys
against the current time.
Well, for some reason lynx does not do this. In other words, a user in
lynx, no matter how active he/she is will be marked as idle by 'w'. The
problem I was having with this is that I wrote a program to keep track of
active users on my system and it was getting way out of line. I also know
of several programs that log users off if they have been idle too long;
all these programs would not work with lynx.
Anyway, this is a minor bug, but it would be nice to add it to the queue
:-)
