I've just noticed that "who" and "w" are playing up. They aren't deleting the entries out of utmp when a user logs out. The command "who" lists all users that have logged in so I get output like... ,----[ output from "who" ] | steve tty1 Dec 29 22:30 | steve tty2 Dec 29 22:30 | steve tty1 Dec 29 22:31 | steve tty24 Dec 29 22:31 | steve tty24 Dec 29 22:31 `---- While "w" gives this... ,----[ output from "w" ] | 10:47pm up 29 days, 3:07, 5 users, load average: 0.50, 0.57, 0.46 | USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT | steve tty1 - 10:31pm 15:41 0.26s 0.26s bash | steve tty24 - 10:31pm 14:56 2:12 0.06s startx `---- At the moment there are 2 users logged in (steve on tty1 & tty24). So you can see that there is definitely something wrong here. Has anyone got any ideas? Also, I found a binary in /usr/sbin called "utmpd" and so far I can't find any docs about it. Anyone know what this animal does? Does it have anything to do with my problem? -- ---Regards, Steve Youngs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>----------------- | Windows 98 has detected that the mouse has moved. | | Please restart your computer for these changes to take effect. | -----------------------Linux+Gnus:-It's better than sex--Almost---
