good day all ...

here is a bothersome problem. our alpha station 500/4.0b system has
a problem with the osf-usr pak. here is what lmf list and w says:

2 root_at_spruce /> rsh birch /usr/sbin/lmf list
Product Status Users: Total Active

OSF-DEV active unlimited
EXT-MATH-LIB active unlimited
FORTRAN-O active unlimited
OSF-USR active 4 2
OPEN3D active unlimited
MMS-RT active unlimited

3 root_at_spruce /> rsh birch w
09:10 up 2 days, 20:41, 3 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00
User tty from login_at_ idle JCPU PCPU what
ohc p0 128.219.153.138 08:43 13 ksh
nxy p2 badips-24.ens.or 10:08 15:35 2259:56 1376:24 extra_cut5
nyz p5 elm.lsd.ornl.gov 12:14 14:59 1 -csh

now, lmf thinks that there are 2 active users, w thinks there are three,
but the system will not allow anyone else to log in (with this familiar
message):

51 spruce /home/mgx> rlogin birch
Too many users logged on already.
Try again later.
Connection closed.
52

does anyone know how to resolve this ugly situation? thanks!
