The authors of the 4.2 BSD TELNET Daemon (/etc/telnetd) send a KILL signal to the process group of the pseudo-tty when the connection closes, just moments after the processes get SIGHUP'ed. This almost assures you of incorrect .newsrc, etc, files -- just enough time to creat(), then Blam! If I knew just what this was supposed to fix I'd start thinking about taking it out... -Mike Muuss
