    Problem Text
    These tests may fail on implementations where new controlling
    terminals are not automatically placed into the database used by
    who.

    The test idea is to exercise "who" from a controlling terminal.
    It tries to do this by running expect to spawn an interactive
    shell (which gets its own controlling ptty). who -m is then run
    by the shell. The test expects the who command to return the
    typical who output only for the controlling ptty.

    The problem is that no utmp entry is mandated for the controlling
    pty. This is not a login shell. If the system's who command
    gets its data from the system's accounting database and no record
    was created for the shell spawned by expect, the who command will
    produce no output.

    a data point: The two failures appear only when expect is used
    (tp810 and tp1015). tp810 passes when I don't use expect at all.
    tp1015 passes when I use expect interactively (vs with a script
    file).
