Experimental support for utmp/wtmp file is provided in this release. If you use this, be aware that these files are only updated when an xrdp session is created or destroyed. Disconnections and reconnections to the same session are not tracked. In particular:-
the FROM address for a client (as shown by the w command) reflects the IP address of the client at the time of creation, and not the address of the currently connected client.
Sessions started by the xrdp-sesrun command do not have a FROM address.
