That's an old well known... wossname??? thingy! The same happens with xterm
and almost anything that gives you a 'nonlogin' shell. Well, actually with
everything _but_ login shells.

utmp entry is wriitten by xterm -- not by shell. It is controlled by
xterm's options:        +ut and -ut

Login shell is controlled by
xterm's options:        +ls ans -ls

Login shells make a note on the log file to indicate you were there. Non-
login shells (or subshells) on the other hand don't.

No -- it is done by programs what starts login shells....
