After a few e-mail Exchanges with Michael, I realized only the ut_id field
needs to have the "tty" stripped. I think this means only the line_abbrevname
func needs the ifdef sgi code.
<p>Hope this will do...
<p>Here is the diff against 2.3.0p1:
<p><tt>*** loginrec.c.orig Fri Dec 01 13:39:13
EST 2000</tt>
<br><tt>--- loginrec.c Fri Dec 01 13:39:28 EST 2000</tt>
<br><tt>***************</tt>
<br><tt>*** 508,520 ****</tt>
<br><tt> line_stripname(char *dst, const char *src, int dstsize)</tt>
<br><tt> {</tt>
<br><tt> memset(dst, '\0', dstsize);</tt>
<br><tt>- #ifdef sgi</tt>
<br><tt>- if (strncmp(src, "/dev/tty",
8) == 0)</tt>
<br><tt>-
strlcpy(dst, src + 8, dstsize);</tt>
<br><tt>- #else</tt>
<br><tt> if (strncmp(src, "/dev/",
5) == 0)</tt>
<br><tt>
strlcpy(dst, src + 5, dstsize);</tt>
<br><tt>- #endif</tt>
<br><tt> else</tt>
<br><tt>
strlcpy(dst, src, dstsize);</tt>
<br><tt> return dst;</tt>
<br><tt>--- 508,515 ----</tt>
<p>I tried it and it seems to work for me.

<p>On mine, I see a ttyd1 from the console login. If I do a 'w', I see
only
<br>the last two characters, but that's true whether I recorded ttyq1 or
q1
<br>as the tty name. There is one difference: if I didn't store ttyq1,
I
<br>don't JCPU or PCPU, and there's a - in the what field.

<br> - (djm) Irix strips "/dev/tty" from [uw]tmp entries (other systems
only
<br> strip "/dev/"). Fix loginrec.c based on patch from Alain
St-Denis

<p>No idea what version Alain is running for SGI.
