Yes, of course it is running. Logging out and logging in solves this 
issue, but the point is here that even a single user without root acces 
can be hiding. He can do anything and nobody will notice that he is even 
loggod in. We discussed in the list that /var/log/wtmp helds the login 
states and only suid programs can access it, e.g. screen or login. As 
for login, it will be fixed if possible since it is in the base system.
