steve-dallas (8.2.8) was running five or so xlogins when I just
checked, each with its own pair of axdm processes. I looked in
/var/adm/SYSLOG and found some relevant stuff. I first noted that
nanny isn't recording user logins any more. I guess the logging level
changed.
The nanny syslogs since August 1 are:
Aug 1 20:55:07 3B:steve-dallas nanny[720]: console died: received signal 13
Aug 2 19:21:01 3B:steve-dallas nanny[16958]: killall -hup axdm returned 255

The "killall -hup axdm" error message is somewhat telling. "killall
-hup axdm" fails with a usage message; when I tried "killall -HUP
axdm" and the number of axdm processes dropped to two (the normal
number; one is a child of the other). However, the extra xlogin
processes stuck around:

Weird that the xlogin processes all say they started at 10:07, but the
Xlogin processes are for various times. All the syslogs for today
are:
