I've looked at it and it seems like xterm doesn't always terminate login sessions properly. It looks like last(1) then terminates the session when the pseudo-terminal is reused, but ac(1) does not. This means that the sessions were only terminated when you rebooted the system. I took a quick look at it. Maybe I can take care of it one of these days, but I have to mention ac(1) is a buggy piece of code. Various pieces of code look very suspicious. Because I already have some plans for the very far future to completely overhaul our utmp system, hopefully to support utmpx, it may be possible it will not be addressed until then... --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/ --E/5eLEyl+0R32iwm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkpFHgEACgkQ52SDGA2eCwU7QgCffSI7iXOzg57ZlNBLuAKsN+DO 03oAn0AD8F75A9Q2XOz+KeiIgOsy5EdJ =FOjd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --E/5eLEyl+0R32iwm--
