Cleaning wtmp entries when SIGTERM is received.

[Senthil Kumar]

Hi ,

I also tried passing signal SIGTERM to the privileged sshd process once the 
session is obtained. This leaves impurities in wtmp entries and I think 
there is no SIGTERM handler for sshd. This shows the user as "still logged 
in" even after logout. What will be the effect if we have the handler for 
this signal? Will it break anywhere?

When I tried this with rlogin program, it handled the SIGTERM and cleared 
the wtmp entries.

Thanks,
Senthil Kumar.
