Hello list,

I have a problem with mgetty,  I am using mgetty to provide dial in access
via a modem for both terminal and ppp (userland) sessions.  This is all
working great except for the problem that I am getting loads and loads of
entries in wtmp

Does anyone know why I am getting so many of these entries,  all these
entries make my wtmp quite large and difficult to see the wood for the
trees!

Many thanks for your help
