i have been running suse 6.2. i have a problems with output of the "who" command. when i telnet from anyother machine, login and give the w commnad it seems to returns an idle time of login for the user related to how long the system has been running or some such. it does not do this when i sit on the terminal of the machine and login. this is not what the w command is supposed to do. can anyone help on how the w command processes and puts out data? what do i do to rectify this. i give below one of those outputs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 12:12pm up 5 days, 28 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT prabha pts/0 lp.irm.ernet.in 12:12pm 4days 49.79s 0.02s w ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thanks prabhakar ----------------------------------------------- Dr. R.
