It may be that logins are getting recorded in /var/run/utmp, but
logouts aren't.

At least, this is happening on one of my computers, for telnet
connections.  I don't know what is different about this computer, it
works OK on other computers.

I tried deleting /var/run/utmp, but it still getting messed up when I
log out from telnet.
