Can anyone tell me why I'm not registered in /etc/utmp if I'm logged
in from another system or use rlogin `hostname` ?
On the Balance we have here, only 'real tty' users are shown with 'who'.
The same goes for rwho, but rwho won't even show the users on other
machines (though this may be an unrelated problem).

Some things don't work when I'm logged in via rsh or rlogin. Talk says
'you don't exist - go away' and  'write' sends: 'Message from ???? ....'.

Is this bug is a way of getting over the 32 user limit ?
