Dear Chuck,
On my other system, which as different 3.0 problems,
the w command works as follows [although it seems slower than
it was on 2.2.8 ], when I am the only one logged on:
wayne@barnes2:/home/wayne>w
9:43AM up 14:31, 1 user, load averages: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
wayne p0 61.178 12May61 - w
wayne@barnes2:/home/wayne>
System ID:
FreeBSD barnes2.wustl.edu 3.1-BETA FreeBSD 3.1-BETA #3: Wed Feb 10 18:56:17 CST 1999 wayne@barnes2.wustl.edu:/usr/src.3.0-stable/sys/compile/GENETHREE i386
I don't know from xdm, but as far as I can tell, your w is
broken, too.

Doesn't this also happen when you login through xdm?
e.g. my workstation says:
8:17AM up 76 days, 19:39, 0 users, load averages: 0.31, 0.10, 0.03
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
