Hello!

My problem is that:

I'am using X. When the user  launches 'xterm' it connects to '/dev/ttyp*',
(the same device as for example 'telnet')
and when he/she finishes, the device still belongs to the user
that launched the 'xterm'.
When I type 'w', I can see as he/she was logged, (I want to use 'talk' for
example),
when I change suid on 'xterm', 'w' does not show me that user.

What should I change,
I want to use 'w'(or some other way?) and then 'talk' to users
and do not want users to own the devices after they have logged out.

Thank You
