- I don't have the answer, but I can tell you that HP isn't the only
- offender. Our AT&T 7020 (Pyramid MIS-02) does the same thing. If
- you want to log out you have to enter <CTRL> D <RETURN>
- If you just enter <CTRL> D somebody can come along and press
- <DELETE> and bring the terminal back up as you. This is in the Sys V
- universe. Useful security feature. :-) I now find myself using
- <CTRL> D <RETURN> even on the 3B2s just out of habit.
