That's one of the problems with 'who' - it requires that the processes
clean up after themselves. You can do a couple of things to clear them
though. The easy way (the way I do it ;)) is just to log in to your box a
bunch of times, until you replace all of the entries in 'who' with
yourself, and then log 'em out properly. It's lame, but it works. ;)
