I am running RH9 and LTSP.
I've seen this with Red Hat 9 and LTSP 3. The default GDM settings use sessreg to register logins and logouts in wtmp and utmp. Unfortunately, they use the long hostname, which gets truncated. I've changed /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default and /etc/X11/gdm/PostSession/Default. The changes to PreSession/Default are simple and address your problem; PostSession/Default addresses this problem as well as a problem with processes getting left behind (by running oaf-slay, then killing all procs belonging to the user).
