>Description:
Using 'who' (or 'users' or 'w') command when in single user mode will display non-connected users who where connected at the time of a 'shutdown now'. These users are now no longer connected or logged in which is why I believe this is a bug.

From the 'man who' page:
The who utility displays information about currently logged in users.

It appears that 'shutdown now' does not correctly update /var/run/utmp.

If this IS the desired response from a 'shutdown now', followed by a 'who', then I apologise, but find it mis-leading.

>How-To-Repeat:
Login from a remote system
either from the remote terminal or from a local terminal issue a 'shutdown now'
Once in single user mode, issue a 'who', 'w' or 'users'. This will display the ghost users.
