Few of the tty lines are connected to Hayes modems fopr users to dail-in. We have a problem of users calling in, then disconnecting without the logout command. So, the system thinks that they are still logged-in and it is also a security problem because if somebody dials-in to the same tty line, he can continue the shell of another user. What do I have to do so that such a user will be logged-out if he disconnect the line? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raanan Herrmann (...!delftcc,phri!bc-cis!raanan)
