Dear Tom,

    Thank you, that fixed part of my w problem,
but it still counts the users wrong, and doesn't show what users
are (am) doing:

 8:16PM  up 1 day,  6:52, 0 users, load averages: 0.01, 0.00, 0.00
 USER             TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT

            Sincerely,  Wayne M Barnes  wayne@barnes1.wustl.edu

  Your data files are broken actually.  Do:

cp /dev/null /var/log/wtmp
cp /dev/null /var/log/lastlog
cp /dev/null /var/run/utmp

  and you should be ok.

Tom
