    For a few weeks now I've been finding logins listed in the `who` output
    that are not really logged in. I've found out how to clear them
    (`cat /dev/null>/var/run/utmp`) but I'd like to cure the problem. The
    false entries all seem to refer to xterm sessions (running bash but
    without the -l option), but only a few xterm sessions fail to get
    registered as logged out.

    Any suggestions?
