I've finally started nosing around, now that I know I can
get my primary job done using this beast (Cube 040/2.0).
Yeah, I like it quite a bit.

But I see something odd in /usr/adm/messages.  Logging out
seems to put these two lines in there.  The first one I
guess is expected.  But the second one looks like something
not right.

I get one of these for every logout.  I watched the time
carefully, and these messages are associated with logging
out, not with the subsequent logging in.  This is an
ordinary user (not root), running in group other, $HOME is
/Users/<name>, shell is /bin/csh.

Knowledgeable person: please cast light.  TIA.
