" Yeah, I got that part, but I doubt that 84 out of 120 logins were idle for over an hour. I know I certainly wasn't idle. We rebooted this morning and uptime reports 63 users, with 55 unique logins. ruptime reports 41 at the moment. The most idle user has been idling for 20 minutes and is reported by rwho. ruptime has been reporting 41 users for the past 6 minutes now, so it isn't a matter of rwhod not having sent out updated information. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org) Systems Administrator, Internex Online Inc.
