A couple of people have noticed inconsistent utmp entries under Solaris 2.x.

The following patch solves these for me under SunOS 5.6. Basically,
everything in bsd-login.c:login() but the last three statements are in
the "#ifdef USE_UTMPX" block are superfluous and harmful. The utmp
and wtmp files are kept in sync by the routines that update the -x versions.

This should probably be cleaned up.
