I tried slogin, rlogin and telnet, none of them registered their tty either. === >> od -c /var/run/utmp | grep q 0000000 t t y q 0 \0 \0 \0 a s a m i \0 \0 \0 0003060 t t y p q \0 \0 \0 a s a m i \0 \0 \0 >> ps gx | grep q 12280 pq Is 0:00.09 bash 14165 pr S+ 0:00.01 grep q 12254 q0 Is 0:00.09 bash 12250 q1 Is 0:00.09 bash 12245 q2 Is 0:00.09 bash 12199 q3 Is 0:00.09 bash 12232 q4 Is 0:00.09 bash 12229 q5 Is+ 0:00.09 bash 12226 q6 Is 0:00.09 bash 12222 q7 Is 0:00.09 bash 12219 q8 Is 0:00.09 bash 12813 q8 S+ 0:01.02 tail -n-100 -f /var/log/messages 12217 q9 Is 0:00.09 bash 12216 qa Is 0:00.09 bash === Is this normal? Also, "ttyq0" appears in the first line of "who", which appears odd to me. Satoshi
