  We have just installed 4.3BSD on our VAX 780.  (We were running
4.2BSD)  We have 3 dialin lines (d0-d2) connected to a DH port.
(ttyh0-ttyh2)  The problem is that when you login on one of the
dialin line while someone else is logged into another dialin line
you inherit the other persons environment.  I have dialed in without
any problem while one other person was logged in.  But I have received
many reports from people who have had this happen.  And I watched it
happen once while two other people (one user and one uucp) were logged
in.  When this happened, 1) `w' said the user was `user1' but mail
from them said `user2', 2) when they logged out and logged back in
their shell was `uucico'.  Any ideas?  I tried not using the `-p'
flag on login but that didn't help.
