I have been not receiving zephyrgrams wven with a zwgc running lately,
and now this...  Apparently the one-user-per-activation-cycle setup works
though.

Hi,

Today when I logged into Hawaii, it gave me no swap space error and the
processes were killed. Well the reason for this is that there were 25
(yep 25) /usr/etc/zwgc running (with no username). I killed these
processes by going to root. I just checked again and there are around 5
more. This happens when people log in reomtely and once they logout, the
zwgc is not killed. Is this a zephyr bug, 6.0c bug or is it just this
workstation.

Well I though I should let you know and by the way, thanks for allowing
others to log into this workstation ... it is a hundred time improvement
to dialup.
