System name:		w20-575-98
Type and version:	POWER 7.7E
Display type:		POWER_Gt1

What's wrong:
	When I run /usr/athena/bin/xterm, "finger" and "who" do not show the
	tty as in use.

What should have happened:
	xterm should put a good entry in the /etc/utmp file so that programs
	like "finger" and "who" will show the tty in use.
	/usr/bin/X11/xterm does this correctly.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	No.  (Maybe "man xterm", maybe not.)
