	I have an SGI which formerly had visuallogin turned off.
	Blankscreen worked fine.  Then someone changed the blankscreen
	time interval via blanktime ( on the command line ) to zero.
	Subsequently, I could not get the console to blank ( when no
	one was logged on to the console ).  If someone was logged 
	in on the console, I could get it to blank by issuing the
	approporiate blanktime command; but when that user logged
	out, it would no longer blank.  If visuallogin is turned on,
	it blanks.  What's going on?  Email and I will post. Thanks.
