Hello:

I have both FreeBSD 9.0 and 9.1 on two different computers.
w and who commands do not list logged in users in any of them
(either for root or a regular user).

The output of w is:

root@:/root # w
  4:56PM  up 10 mins, 0 users, load averages: 0.18, 0.26, 0.20
USER       TTY      FROM                      LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
root@:/root #

And the output of who:

root@:/root # who
root@:/root #

Why is this and how can I fix it?

This can happen if your kernel and world are out of sync.

It can also happen if /var/run/utx.active is corrupt. Could you
try deleting it? It will be re-created after a successful login.
