System name: air-traffic-controller
Type and version: POWER 7.6H
Display type: graygda
What were you trying to do?
Just run a sun normally
What's wrong:
Sometimes when a user runs a zwgc -ttymode (or at least that's
all I've seen it with) on a SPARC, when they log out it does not die,
and the next person to use the machine gets the previous person's
zephyrs in their console. This has lead to some confusion, especially
when the person running the should-be-dead zwgc got mail and the hapless
user tried to incorporate mail that wasn't on their pobox and in fact
wasn't for them at all. One user I've noticed leaving zwgcs laying
around twice is username 'patrick'. This has happened to me and two
other people have asked me about it in OLC.
What should have happened:
All the user's processes should have died.
