Hi.

I'm noticing some funnnies with utmp on AIX (4.2.1.0.06) too, but haven't
finished testing yet, which is why the e-mail describing it is only
half-written.  Setting "Uselogin yes" seems to avoid the trouble, though
the utmp file as shown by "who -a" still doesn't look quite right.

I'll try your patch & see what kind of difference it makes.

see ya...
Matt.
