On IRIX the sshd writes wrong entries in /var/adm/utmp. The line_abbrevname function does not trim the pseudo tty name correct. i.e. /dev/ttyq1 gets "tyq1" instead off "q1". So programms like talk and xbiff, who reads /var/adm/utmp stumble about this wrong entries. There ist a usenet posting describing the same problem, and saying that it will be fixed, but it did not happen, see URL above.
