>Description:

user-ppp handles the line name (ttyS1 or i4brbch0) differently on login and logout.
In /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp/id.c ID0logout replaces unnecessarily the last byte of the 
string with an nullbyte. If the name of your Line is UT_LINESIZE bytes long (e.g.
i4brbch0) ppp creates an utmp and wtmp entry on login, but doesn't remove (or add an 
closing entry) on logout.


>How-To-Repeat:

Log in via ISDN from i4brbch0

>Fix:
