not everyone uses xterm. personally, i use kvt. it might be a better idea to "fix" w/who/finger to gather information based on what ttys are in use or something to that effect rather than what's in the *tmp logs. that way you wouldn't have to worry about different terminal. but that's just my take on things and what i was trying to accomplish by looking through the code. john.
