In the uw server 4.2  that I am using, one is supposed
to compile with the -DUTMP option so that uw can update /etc/utmp.
However, this doesn't seem to work. Sorry to say, I have not
had the strong desire to track this bug down (don't we all have nicer
things to do?).

I get around this by typing 
	% rlogin localhost
when I really need to talk to someone.  Sometimes it's an advantage not
to be seen by people... y'get more work done. :-)
