Hello!

May be you can help me (or my wtmp :))?

The problem is:

User telnet to host and use "screen".
Then his connection is broken, or close at telnet command line,
but user's record remains in wtmp while somebody gets login
on this ttyp* terminal.

How to make wtmp understand that user went out?

Thanks in advance,
Galina Kovalenko.
