I have a minor, but irritating, problem with incoming telnets. I have a
multiuser system running RH40. When users telnet in, if their connection
dies unexpectedly (in this case because they are running a Mac, and they
tend to die unexpectedly just in general :) ) their telnetd/shell process
dies properly, but they are not removed from /var/run/utmp and their pty
becomes all hoserly and quits working (I/O errors every time something
tries to use it). I am running a slightly (well, extremely) nonstandard
in.telnetd, it is a kerberos version instead of the basic RH40 version,
but I would like to know if the problem is a common one, or if it is with
my telnetd, or if it is something that can be corrected. Does anyone have
any ideas?
