    I can't get any of it to work.  When I run it in debug mode, it
seems to think that each user actually logged on the system is logged
in 68 times.  The "utmplines" utility says there are 156 lines in my
/var/run/utmp file, when in fact there are only a handful of users.
Also, it always says "This session has been idle 0 minutes.  You will
be logged out in 1 minutes [sic]", no matter what my idle.cf says.
Then it never logs out the users, or updates their status (I have it
set to poll every 120 seconds).

    I see that a newer version is on the FTP site.  I'll try to get
that working.
