Hi!

(This occurs on current SNAP 980520.)

If, from a shell, I do a login under a different user name and then return
to the shell, then do w, who or finger, it displays the second user as
logged on, even though that user has logged out.

I presume that login isn't really supposed to be used on from a shell
(e.g. SCO OpenServer won't let you do that at all), but I think this
behaviour is not desirable.

Is this known behaviour, and should it be (or has it been) fixed?

Thanks,

Ben.
