Hello alpha-managers,
what i see, when entering a `w' from my du-3.2c alpha is (for example):
User tty from login_at_ idle JCPU PCPU what
aaa r4 xterm1.xaver.mpe 11:01 18:41 3:47 11 - (tcsh)
aaa xterm1.xav 10:57 -
bbb qb xterm2.xaver.mpe 18:20 13days -
I have 2 questions:
-> what kind of problem do i have (see the second `aaa'-line), when the tty-field
is missing (or overwritten) by the from field?
I have this corrupted line once for any active Xterminal-session via xdm.
-> why does a user still show up with w, while `ps aux | grep bbb' does not show
any bbb-processes? (The user of course has logged out days ago.)
To me this looks like utmp/wtmp-related, but is it a bug or a feature?
(I thought this to be the well-known `w'-bug, where a patch exists for;
but obviously it's something different.)
With regards,
Bernt Christandl
