System name: oliver this is not the system with the bug
Type and version: POWER 7.6H
Display type: colorgda
What were you trying to do?
logout
What's wrong:
The suns leave all my processes running on logout. I perceive
this as a security hole as well as an inconvenience. For example, it is
possible to write programs which sleep for a while and then act while
someone else is logged in.
What should have happened:
On logout the machine should ideally reactivate immediately. No
processes except those owned by su should be allowed to continue
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
