No one logged on.
I expected to see a list of people logged on.
That looks like its the writing part of the process going wrong with 3
different systems not showing users,
rather than the reading side.
w uses information like what "loginctl list-users" shows, what does that
command give you?
I think I'm actually barking up the wrong tree here.
It looks like if I use ssh to log on, my session shows up in w's output. If
I use mosh, I don't.
I can easily repro this with mosh. Probably it doesn't register its
session with logind. Best to reassign this problem to mosh, IMO.
Thanks.
I notice that talk doesn't work either anymore. I see that write got removed
some time ago already, but talkd and ytalk are still installable packages.
They don't see anyone logged on either with ssh or mosh.
