This is precisely the problem -- it is not a terminal, indeed there is no way to issue "tty". I can only issue "tty" if I start a terminal emulator, but the problem is when w tries to look directly at the X session itself, not any terminal I have spawned from within the X session. In the same way, I can't "write" a user on one of these X sessions unless they have opened a terminal emulator (such as xterm or konsole). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
