  $ man who

  WHO(1)                  FreeBSD General Commands Manual                 WHO(1)

  NAME
       who - display who is logged in

  SYNOPSIS
       who am I
       who [file]

  DESCRIPTION
       The who utility displays a list of all users currently logged on
                                                    ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^

It looks like 'andy' was logged off when you ran the who(1). Was he
not? If the user is still logged in, the last field of the last(1)
output is 'still logged in' rather than a logout time and duration.
