log out on dropped line

I recently installed autobaud from comp.sources (which was written for
4.3BSD). It is a replacement for getty which sets the line speed
automatically. It works, except for the following intolerable problem:
if a user turns off his terminal, he is not logged out, and the next
person using that line finds himself in the middle of a session. This
does NOT happen if the login is done through getty. I checked the call
to ioctl and NOHANG is not set. We are running Ultrix 2.0 on a MVII with
a DZQ11 connected to a Develcon data switch. Now its possible that the
data switch doesn't drop the carrier on a hangup, but it at least drops DSR
(I think). Something certainly happens. I'm sure that I just need the
proper flags for ioctl. Any ideas?
