ah, at last some feedback:)

ok, as I wrote, my finger, who etc become to complain about missing
/dev/smb/ entries. system is solaris 8. so, wew do have 2 options - to fix
utmp logging to behave like for example wu-ftpd:

[137] tsoome at madli:hs/txt> ftpwho
Service class local:
tsoome   27734  0.1  0.1 3720 3392 ?        S 00:11:20  0:00 ftpd:
madli.ut.ee: tsoome: IDLE
   -   1 users ( 40 maximum)
Service class remote:
zolki    27721  0.1  0.1 3880 3464 ?        S 00:11:18  0:00 ftpd:
tiik.aklubi.ee: zolki: IDLE
   -   1 users ( 40 maximum)

[140] tsoome at madli:hs/txt> last | less
neleht    pts/260      ppp612.estpak.ee Tue Mar  6 00:11 - 00:11  (00:00)
tsoome    ftp          madli.ut.ee      Tue Mar  6 00:11 - 00:11  (00:00)
zolki     ftp          tiik.aklubi.ee   Tue Mar  6 00:11 - 00:11  (00:00)
asmik     pts/63       adsl2449.estpak. Tue Mar  6 00:09   still logged in

so, we can see ftp from lastlog, but not from finger/who/...

the alternative way is to let utmp logging as it is and use the same idea
as dtlogin (CDE login) does in solaris - dtlogin does register sessions on
line /dev/dtremote, so you can see logins on line dtremote. and:

[144] tsoome at madli:hs/txt> ls -l /dev/dtremote
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           9 24. apr  2000 /dev/dtremote ->
/dev/null

so, I found this idea to be able to see smb sessions with finger to bee
good and since it only will require few lines of code to implement, why
not?

I have no idea, if this problem is problem for other unixes, but we do
have #if for this case....
