A hangup signal is generated somewhere, somehow, and the process dies and the user gets a logon message. This happens if the only process running is /bin/sh and the user is not inputting anything. Another process which traps signals before it dies identifies the signal is SIGHUP. It only happens on two computers, and then only for certain users. Changing tty lines doesn't help the problem, but logging in on a different terminal does. Aha! Must be the terminal, right? Had two AT&T techs out with monitoring equipment to watch the line between terminal and 3b1 and they detected nothing strange on the line. Has anyone else experienced the same problems and found solutions? (It is 3.5.1.4 flavor SysV with the ROM chip corrections for the Zilog chip on the expansion board).
