Ok, I've just logged in multiple times on a ttyp until I logged in on the tty occupied by the ghost and the w entry was removed. (The user was logged in on ttyp2, so I logged in on ttyp0, p1 and then on logging in on p2 the ghost was removed). Is there an easier way? > I've just installed 'idled' so hopefully it won't happen > in future ;) Maybe this is the 'easier' way eh?
