There is strange problem I have noticed with system V init 2.75 and
virtual consoles. SysVinit 2.75_3 sometimes fails to clean up utmp.
It results that finger shows users that are no longer actually
logged in, but it also results that e.g. if that users was logged
in on tty1, that agetty will end up with D stat and wait_on_buff
WCHAN in few hours. Since processes with D stat cannot be killed if you
manually clean utmp everything will be restored to normal state. Is this
kernel problem or sysvinit bug?
Best regards,
Goran Gajic
