Let me turn that question around slightly:
How can I get gdm(8) to record user logins in
/var/run/utmp ?
It's the utmp file that commands like w(1) and users(1) read
in order
to present the list of logged-in users. As far as I know
this is the
only effective means the system uses to record who is logged
in when --
I'm not aware of any gdm(1) specific equivalent.
Now, in order for a login to be recorded in utmp(5) it
should suffice to
have a line like:
session required pam_lastlog.so
no_fail
in the appropriate file under /etc/pam.d or
/usr/local/etc/pam.d
I'm using /etc/pam.d/xdm as a reference -- xdm(8) is
functionally
similar to gdm(8) and I'd think it would have a very similar
PAM
configuration. However I haven't positively verified that,
and you'ld
do well to search for PAM-related info in gdm documentation
and so
forth.
Cheers,
Matthew
