sekullbe tried to log out of this sun, and nothing happened. Here's a
full list of all the processes he's running (standard dotfiles):
~/tmp> ps axlww | grep 3066
8 3066 1556 1535 80 49 20 278 250 R pts/0 0:06 tcsh
8 3066 1548 1 34 60 20 558 253 pollwait S ? 0:00 xscreensaver -geometry 72x72-305+0

there's no session gate. Here's a few more proc entries:
8 0 1013 1160 60 20 251 128 pty_soft S ? 0:00 /etc/athena/dm /etc/athena/login/config ttyp0 console
8 1 1558 1013 45 60 20 314 227 pollwait S ? 0:00 /etc/athena/console -f /etc/athena/login/Console -display :0.0 -inputfd 3
8 0 1014 1013 80 60 20 1674 987 pollwait S ? 3:46 X -fp /etc/athena/login/fonts/75dpi,/usr/openwin/lib/fonts :0 -nobanner
Those are the *only* children of dm. Note that there is no xlogin
running. when xlogin dies, dm should reset the X server. It's not.
Possible evidence: I also noticed that there were a few defunct children
of zwgc, which were presumable zmailnotify's which zwgc didn't clean up
after. Since I know this isn't a "normal" failure mode, we have two
processes not handling SIGCHLD. Don't know if I can replicate this at all.
