On a 4D/480 running IRIX 4.05, we have a couple of rlogind's
gone wild, using up 2 cpus, that will not be killed or 
reniced:

    user   pid  pgrp  %cpu proc  pri  size   rss    time  command 
  sysadm 10580 10580  99.4    4  100    65     3 5736:14  rlogind
  sysadm 10528 10528  99.4    3  100    65     3 5741:43  rlogind 

These two processes went awry when a remote user ended the
rlogins by quitting the windows, on his Indigo, in which
they were running.

Can I banish this processes, short of rebooting?
Is there a fix to prevent this behavior?

Please send replies to my email below.  Thanks.
