I'm seeing a curious oddity that I think is related to something in
either the /etc/utmp or /etc/wtmp files.  I'm working with a replacement
login program that seems to work just fine on a serial line, but when
I login one of the consoles, or login over a ttyp line it leaves a
false entry that shows up in who.  Is there something additional I
need to do to either utmp/wtmp files (I'm using the getut library routines)
or am I missing something else?

Thanks,
