hi, today, when i did a w(1), i noticed that i have a user logged on, but
they aren't running anything. for example:
geoffrey ph localhost 6:38PM 26 -
that is part of the w(1) output. when i do ``ps ajfxU geoffrey'', ps
reports that they aren't running anything.
why does this happen? and how can i log them out? usually, to log out a
user, i would kill their shell, but they aren't running a shell!
i'm running freebsd 3.1-stable.
thanks in advance,
--dima
