 The problem is the tty or line name that sessreg inserts into utmp isn't a 
 device in /dev. That causes ttystat to fail and so the entry to be 
 skipped. It would probably be easy enough to cope with this and print out 
 the tty as - with no idle time or something if it is felt that would be a 
 correct solution.
 
 HTH,
