utmp writing needs to be enabled (+ut) and urxvt needs to have the necesary
permissions (e.g. setgid utmp, depending on your distro).

there is also a bug in urxvtd (not urxvt) in the current release, where a
overzealous protection mechanism in libptytty didn't allow urxvtd to access
utmp when setgid.
