>Description:
i run mgetty on my modem port (tty00) for dial-in
access. when i use pppd to dial out of the same port,
i get the following from /usr/bin/w:
w: Stale utmp entry: dialout tty00
everything works ok otherwise & w prints other login
sessions ok so this is not serious.
my mgetty is version 1.1.22, installed via up-to-date pkgsrc.
