           Summary: w (uptime) command still indicates user is logged in
                    after logout
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: HPPA
        OS/Version: HP-UX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: dave.anglin at nrc.ca


The build system is hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 and openssh is version 3.4p1.

The w (uptime) command indicates a user is still logged in after logout.
The problem wasn't present in 3.1p1 even though writing to utmp is
disabled.

Other commands such as who and last generate correct results.
/dev/pts/* appear to be correctly released. 

Looking at config.h, I noticed that writing to utmp was disabled:

/* Define if you don't want to use utmp */
#define DISABLE_UTMP 1

Commenting this out and rebuilding, fixed the problem.  Disabling
writing to wtmp seems to be the default (ie, I didn't disable it when
running configure).
