Well, I think it's a pretty well known bug that diskless indigos
have problems with such things as idle times of users, etc.
Just as a quick summary, "w" reports:

greendog  q0  greendog@max  10:04pm  32days     3     1   w

The idle time always seems to be the amount of time since we installed
the operating system!

Is there some quick/dirty fix for this?  Like some file that needs
to be 'touched' or something?  Will SGI ever fix this in 4.x.x?
It screws up our accounting and some other things (like condor, rwho)...

Mike
