Can it be something else, maybe? Well, if they don't start a login shell, they're not going to show up as logged in. Most terminal programs have an option to start them as login shells, but I don't know KDE well enough to know what the normal practice there would be. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

How could I check this? 2. I found that users are reported if they are logged in on terminal session or through ssh. User who is logged in through KDM3 into KDE3 session is not shown. Does this change the above diagnosis? Can it be something else, maybe?

Thank you. I tried this type of search before my posting but the results I looked at were not relevant or did not give a solution. I did not know about "let me google that for you", thanks for that.

w and who don't list users in FreeBSD 9.0 and 9.1
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? Thanks, Istvan ps: I tried google search but w and who are not good search terms. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
