The utmp code was reworked a fair bit, as it now tracks sessions (the
real events on the SMB protocol that match to a logon-logoff) rather
than tree connects (these can happen at any time, and don't say anything
about the user logging on/off).

Becouse its now on a session setup level, it has to be a global.
