OK but you probaly also agree it is only kind of simptomatic cure.

IMO using CLOSE_SESSIONS it is kind of "broken design" (in login and also=
=20
in newgrp) and it must be solved by use only one variant of this code=20
without use external login.defs::CLOSE_SESSIONS variable.
Probaly on CLOSE_SESSIONS=3Dyes is something missing in current code.=20
Question is "what is missing ?".
