We're running SunOS 4.0.3.  We find that the rusers(1) program does not
terminate.  It sends out a broadcast message, prints out all replies, and
waits, and waits, ad infinitum (as long as I've bothered to wait, anyway).
Wouldn't it make sense to have a 15-30 second timeout?  Is this fixed in
SunOS 4.1?  Thanks.

Michael
