report->user_local is always true

Either find out what was this field supposed to mean and set it accordingly, or remove it.

To be honest, I don't remember, but it's one of the following:

• User is logged in locally (console, terminal emulator...) vs. remotely (SSH, telnet, rlogin...)
• User has a local account (/etc/passwd) vs. user account comes from the network (LDAP, AD, NIS+...)

[mmilata]

I think it's the first one. How can we detect that user is logged in remotely?

[mtoman]

A very simple approach would be assuming remote login <=> SSH and check for SSH_* env variables. I'll check for a more generic way to do that.

So after a quick look, SSH sets SSH_* env variables, while telnet, rsh, rlogin and rexec set REMOTEHOST env variable. Are there any other means of remote login that we should consider? What about eg. VNC?
