Hi, I'm having annoying problems with users who connect, then run login to
hide their source host. My problem isn't so much the (attempted) hiding,
but the fact that after a lot of this activity my w display gets full of
broken fixed entries from people long logged off. If I remove the setuid
bit from login can I expect any ill behavior from it other then the fact
that users can no longer re-login without reconnecting? I have noticed
that setuid screen when called with -ln causes similar problems. What is
going on and is there a way I can support those programs without getting
bogus login entries?
Thanks.
