Glad someone else has this problem... I thought I was going bananas
haha.
I just tried "gnuwho" (never used it before myself).... and its also not
seeming to do anything.
gnuwho --version
who (GNU coreutils) 9.5
gnuwho
(nothing happens)
gnuwho -a
system boot 2025-11-23 15:54
I also tried your "strace gnuwho" and gots the same output as per yours.
and a "strace who" gives me this towards the end...
