I have been noticing a problem for several weeks now, and I'm not
quite sure what to make of it. Occasionally on a 'who' root is
logged in a pseudo-tty, apparently doing nothing.
This occurs randomly and isn't associated with another using /bin/su
or logging in as root. Of course, since the pty thinks root is
attached, it never gets freed until rebooting.

Is this a problem or should I ignore it? Please post replies to
the net, since mail still can't route to my system properly.
