Fellow managers,
Two days ago, I asked:
>I have two problems related to modem access on Solaris 2.4 systems.

>1. According to man pages, "-t" option of ttymon specifies that it should exit
>if no one types anything within the set limit. I modified /etc/saf/_sactab
>so it looks like the following (the concept is from inittab console entry),
>
>ttymon0:ttymon::2:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -t 600

>But that doesn't work. Actually, ttymon won't start up after that. The

>2. When people connect to the same systems through PPP, then use telnet to

>someone picks up the phone) the utmp entry won't get cleaned up. Therefore,
>both w and last commands would show that the person still has a shell open.
>I found a patch 102286-01 which uses utmpd to fix inconsistencies between
>utmp and wtmp, but, that doesn't help. Any ideas?

>I'll summarize and thanks in advance for your help,
Since I have not received any reply for the questions I guess I'll write
scripts/programs to resolve the problem myself.
Thanks anyways,
