Hi,
When I log out of an xterm, it doesn't seem to clean up its entry properly
in /etc/utmp, so that when someone fingers the system, it appears as if I'm
still logged on. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? (I'm using SLS,
kernel 0.99pl4).
BTW, has anyone else noticed that telnet sessions into linux hang a lot
more in 0.99pl5 than in, say, pl4? NCSA telnet from a PC seems to hang
pretty much at random, which is a Bad Thing(tm) if you're trying to teach
people UNIX. Telnetting from VMS machines is even worse. Sometimes I can't
even log in before it crashes! No problems using NCSA, though, with 0.99.4.
I'm using 2 ethernet cards, which could be the problem. A WD8013 and a
D-Link 220 (NE2000 compat) with Don Becker's drivers. As I say, fine with
0.99.4, but no luck with 0.99.5 :-(
Thanks in advance,
Nick
