Actually, re: the utmp problems:
I've noticed that since I symlinked /bin/login to
/etc/athena/login.krb, people logging in from the console and
telnetting in are not getting put in utmp. This is probably caused by
something simple. (Maybe login.krb isn't setuid root... would that
cause this problem?) I'll look into it next time I'm on Keesh and
remember to do so.
The xterm from xfree-2.0 puts bogus entries for host/tty in utmp...
I've been meaning to look into that too.
However, the fact that the entries stick around after the xterms exit
is a bug in finger, not xterm. (I'm proud to say I have looked into
that. :-) Look at /mit/linux/bugs/finger-bug and finger-response.
