-1) Occasionally, a user will log out from the machine, but who and
- finger show the user as still logged in. finger will show the
- user as being idle for many many days (sometimes 300 days!). Then
- at some later arbitrary time, the user disappears. Has anyone else

Yes, I've seen this and no longer trust the output of 'w', 'who', and
'last'. Something is screwy in AIX's perception of who's logged in and
who isn't.
