We currently have two of our SGIs pushing XDM to a couple of X terminals.
When people login via the XDM window, the command "who am i" says they
are "telnet", or "ftp".

If they use the standard telnet window from the X terminal (and not XDM
login), "who am i" is working correctly.

This problem is not causing a problem with "file ownership".

Any ideas?
