users never log out of DECwindows console

[danl at midget.towson.edu]

I'm running DECwindows UWS 2.1 / Ultrix 3.1 on a VAXstation 3100.  When
a user finishes using the console and quits from the session manager,
Ultrix doesn't think he's logged out.  All of his processes are terminated,
but it seemes that the session manager "forgets" to delete the entry in the
utmp file for the console device, and it doesn't change the ownership on
the device file back.  Consequently, who, finger, etc. makes it look
like users are logged in for days (annoying when it's root that was last
to use it), and nimble hackers are looking for ways to exploit the device
ownership.

I was hoping this would be fixed by the 2.1/3.1 upgrade, but alas, it's still
broken.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Have a fix?  Do I just have something
set up wrong?

Thanx in advance,
Dan
