We are having problems with two of our HP clusters, which continually
get corrupt utmp entries, resulting in the following message upon
attempted login:

	No utmp entry.You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh".

I've spoken to HP, and they think it may be an X client causing the
problem. We are running MIT's X11R4, patch level 18 on both clusters.
One cluster is running HP-UX 6.5, the other HP-UX 7.0

Anybody seen this, or know what causes it?

	Thanks in advance
