Subject: xbase-clients: sessreg may be putting junk into /var/run/utmp

Hi,
I don't really know whether this is a problem with finger, the C
library, but I thought that I would like to place them blame on
sessreg at first!
The symptoms of this problem are that finger prints a bogus idle
time for the :0 entry (this system was installed ~ 98 days ago),
using `finger jeff' I get:
On since Thu Sep 16 08:53 (EDT) on :0 from console
277 days 22 hours idle
using `finger jeff@localhost' I get (note: cfingerd is installed):
On since Thu Sep 16 08:53AM (EDT) on :0 Idle 23278 days
07:00:00 from console [MSG-N]
Notice the bogus ip-address (235.69.3.64) in the utmp record for
:0,
jeff|:0|7|:0|357|235.69.3.64|console |Thu Sep 16 08:53:54
1999
which leads me to believe that sessreg is the culprit, even though
the idle times from the finger output differ.
Here are the gory details showing my hostname's ip-address and
complete output from both fingers above followed by a utmp dump,
