Ever since I upgraded to DU 4.0b - I've been seeing students
"stuck" logged in for days at end. We use the bash shell version
 
#bash -version
GNU bash, version 2.01.0(1)-release (alpha-dec-osf4.0)
Copyright 1996 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

and some of the users have claimed they've typed "lo" and got
the logout message but yet when i type w or ps -erf |grep username
I can still see these people out there.
Sometimes they're even chewing on the cpu. I usually kill them
off with much trouble (kill -9 doesn't work usually I have to
do a kill -KILL) ...

Just curious if anyone's seen this too. I'm not sure which patch
kit I'm on at the moment...duv40970808.tar I believe is the one
I last installed ...

thanks for the info.
