When you do a "who -a", you get every entry in utmp. Entries like:
admin network Feb 7 20:23 . 28745 id=11:0 term=0 exit=3
admin network Feb 8 14:18 . 3666 id=66:0 term=0 exit=0
exist only to record the exit code of the terminated process.

Stopping unix from recording this information would require a modification to init at least and maybe login depending on how information you want to suppress.
