	Optionally, you could write a small stand-alone program
	that's vendor-specific to update utmp.  Perl might be
	an obvious language to use...

	Returning to the "doing it in Samba" discussion, there
	is a pututline() function in Slolaris that will register
	a process with utmpd. utmpd will then manage the file
	for you.
