| rlogind(8) | |
|---|---|
| Systems Affected: | System V Revision 4 |
| Problem: | If I rlogin in to a machine, and logout, and then start a new shelltool on the machine, then "who am i" within the shelltool will say that I'am the person who rlogin'ed. Also, anything I print (using lpr, at leat) will say the print job came from the person who rlogin'ed. I'am no expert in SVR4 utmp entries, but I think the problem is that rlogind is changing the type of the utmp entry for the process to DEAD_PROCESS, while leaving the other attributes alone. Other programs don't seem to be checking the type field before interpreting the utmp entry. While reading some accounting documentation it seemed to imply that the DEAD_PROCESS entries were only to handle some special accounting situation. |
