We use a Sytek broadband front-end net to access Vaxen running 4.2 BSD.
When a user logs out he will get a login rather than a Sytek prompt if
there is a process independently running on his tty (eg 'leave(1)').
Secretaries and similar types of users don't realize that a login ties up
the tty, so we are often short of ttys.  We've put a scope on the Vax side
and found that logic signals are not being dropped when the situation
described above exists.  Is what I've described a feature or a bug?  Is
there a reasonable fix?

Thanks,
