Hi all:


        Suppose that under DU v3.2c running on AlphaStation AXP 400, I am user
user c, and make the following with an X terminal:

user c> who
user a
user b
user c


user c> dxterm -display mydisplay:0.0 &
[PID]

Now I have two shell, the initial shell (isuser c>) and a dxterm (dxuser
c>)

dxuser c> who
user a
user b
user c

isuser c>
user a
user b
user c

isuser c> exit
isuser c> logoff

Now user c only has the connection of dxterm, well, try:

dxuser c> who
user a
user b

The user c, that is our account, isn't on the systems (because they
think, that we are logged off), but we are on.

The only method to know if user c is on system is whit ps -ef.

It only happens with dxterm, with xterm no.

Any idea?

Thanks.
