My understanding of 'who' was that it showed connected users, not ghost. (from 'man who') The who utility displays information about currently logged in users. Its kind of a cool feature/bug but is it correct? (this is on a FreeBSD 4.7-RC system) _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
