>Description:
When I'm running X, not all users show up with the command w, who, or finger, and sometimes a fake username ttyp3 shows up.  For example, now I have a virtual console and 4 xterms logged in and open.  Yet this is the outpute of w:
bsdx: {10} w
10:34AM  up  8:40, 2 users, load averages: 0.38, 0.32, 0.33
USER             TTY FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
user1            v0  -                 9:21AM  1:09 xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xi
ttyp3                :0.0             10:15AM  1:33 -

This is certainly odd, and it is something that would be very handy if it worked correctly again :)
Note: I have tried clearing /var/run/utmp and I've tried rebooting to no avail. Do I need X binaries compiled for 3.0? I still have mine from 2.2.2
>How-To-Repeat:
Like shown above, I startx and open some xterms, run w, and only one of me show up and a user called ttyp3. 
>Fix:
Install xfree86 binaries for 3.0? Or is there a real problem somewhere else?
