I noticed some oddities on snork today in Linux mode. First:

ghudson ttyp4 Nov 5 16:20 (SMALL-GODS.MIT.EDU)
root tty3 Nov 10 16:16
Also, /usr/bin/who occasionally paused for a couple of seconds
before printing out the line for svalente and before printing out the
line for ghudson. I'm guessing that that's for name resolution, since
/etc/resolv.conf doesn't point to the local machine (What's up with
that?).
Running ps indicated that neither ghudson nor svalente had any
processes running, so this smells like some kind of utmp lossage.
I also had some lossage with /usr/bin/top; it works fine in an
xterm, but fails to list any processes when run from a console; it
only displays down to the "PID USER PRI...." header. Fiddling with
$term and $TERM didn't help.
