from gnome-pty-helper/README
"Note that for utmp/wtmp/lastlog logging to work properly, you *must* ensure
that gnome-pty-helper is installed with the correct permissions. By default,
gnome-pty-helper is installed setgid "utmp". If your system does not have a
group named "utmp" (or if this group does not have write access to the
corresponding log files), then it will probably need to be made setuid "root"."


we fall in the second category and the permission are right
