- The solution for me was manipulating the corrupted /etc/utmp - file
- with the program written by DaviD W. Sanderson (dws@cs.wisc.edu).
- It is available from comp.sources.unix (ask archie for the server
- next to you) in Volume 25.
-
- MAKEDEV/mknod did not help because the utmp-file seems to be
- unaffected by this command.
-
- Mehregan mentioned that there might be a patch for this behaviour.
- Is there anyone who has the number on the fly? If it is a Bug, I wonder
- why Sun did not fix it in 4.1.2.

- Sometimes when I log into one of our SUN's and ask 'who',
- I get something like
-
- User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what
- cseb ttyp2 8:40am w
- xbey ttyp6 14Aug9210days -
-
- xbey does not have any processes running. It seems as if
- the Pseudo Terminal is not released correctly. I looked
- through the answerbook, manuals and FAQs - nothing found.
-
- How can I free ttyp6 ?
-
- Setup: several SPARCs, 4.1.2, OW3, occasionally SUNVIEW
