I don't like such low-level messing with the utmp file.  How does ftpd
on the BSDs handle utmp?  This is the modal David Lee used originally, I
think.

If the login() and logout() apis are not useful (has this been tested?),
can they be improved by the BSD crew to honour the contents of the
struct utmp?

Basically, I want anything that avoids doing a write() to those files
directly.
