However that user still appears in the output from 'w'. How can I remove the user from 'w' output? I've just installed 'idled' so hopefully it won't happen in future ;) Thanks in advance, Jez To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
