It turns out that the X windows xterm from
X11R5 was not preforming a correct login to
Solaris. The xterm that comes with Solaris
in /usr/openwin/bin seems to work just fine.
Thus I copied the xterm from /usr/openwin/bin
over the X11R5 version. Now who and w report
things correctly, while finger tends to omit
some users. This must still be a bug in Solaris
as my other Solaris 2.5.1 system has the same
bug as well.
