Mike,
The system is counting the number of TTY sessions, and the number of
users you see should equal the number of terminal windows you have
open+1 console session. So, if you are in Terminal and typed:
"uptime" (without the quotes) and pressed return
you should expect to see 2 users. Try using the "w" command
(without the quotes) which prints out a summary of current activity
on the system and you'll see both a console session and your (1)
terminal session. If you had opened another terminal window (Command-
N) and used that to run an SSH (Secure Shell) login to another
computer, then did your "w", you would see the console, one terminal
running w, and one terminal running ssh, but the command would report
3 users.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther
