yes these are all abnormal shell terminations over the course of time
i'm not sure if utmp is cleared over time

because i ran out of ttys yesterday
i killed a bunch of sshd's that were lingering to clear things up a little

i know a reboot will clear it out
i'm gonna look for a way to claer it i'm sure you can

thanks

pete
