[HPADM] RE: [SUMMARY] System Node Name in "btmp" file

You know, you learn something new everyday.
I stumbled onto the answer when I was talking to the person who owns the
PC. The were using Xonnet, a X emulation software package, to XDMP into
the server and mis-typed his password. What I thought was a shop floor
PC was actually not.
Anyway, I was able to duplicate the situation by using Xonnet to XDMP to
the server and get a CDE login screen. I mis-typed my password and my
laptop's system name appeared in the "btmp" file as well.
 
Thanks

        A bit of unusualness here, well I haven't see it before.
        When doing a 'lastb' command on and 11.0 system, for the first
time, an actual
        system's node name showed up in the device field:
         
        Login Name Device Date
        SDFMD16 <node name> Wed Nov 30 08:14
         
        <node name> = system's node name.
        The system in this case is a walkup PC on a factory floor used
for inputting shop
        floor data via a barcode reader into an MRP application.
         
        Has anyone seen this before and is it accepted or is it not
supposed to happen?
        Normally I see a "pts/t-something" or "remshd" in the device
field.
         
        Thanks
