>Description:
When logging in as a user and then relogin as a different user command 'w' shows wrong ownership of tty and time.

Login as a user on console:

$ tty
/dev/console

$ w
USER TTY FROM LOGIN IDLE WHAT
zafer console - 2:10AM 0 w

now use login to relogin as another user.

$ login root
Password:

Welcome to NetBSD!
# tty
/dev/console

# w
USER TTY FROM LOGIN IDLE WHAT
zafer console - 2:10AM 0 w

^^^ this should be root

# ls -l `tty`
crw------- 1 root tty 0,0,Aug 26 02:23 /dev/console

utmp is updated. w shows wrong info. and wrong time.

# date
Fri Aug 26 02:22:27 CEST 2005

# w
USER TTY FROM LOGIN IDLE WHAT
zafer console - 2:10AM 0 w

time is always 2:10AM


This does not happen, if you log in as root first:

Login as root on console:
# tty
/dev/console
# w
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
root console - 2:25AM 0 w

Now use login to relogin as another user

# login zafer
Password:

Welcome to NetBSD!

$ tty
/dev/console

$ w
USER TTY FROM LOGIN IDLE WHAT
zafer console - 2:27AM 0 w

But here also time stands still. it is always 2:27AM
