Hello UNIX admins,
I noticed on one of our servers, a AS2100 running TU5.1 + PK3, a
strange output when running the w command. Several users are listed as
having the console getty process, as in the following:
fob1 12:29 /usr/sbin/getty console cons
gas1 16:52 /usr/sbin/getty console cons
laf1 08:36 /usr/sbin/getty console cons
asshu1 09:37 /usr/sbin/getty console cons
ducre1 09:50 /usr/sbin/getty console cons
gir1 10:28 /usr/sbin/getty console cons
col2 11:22 /usr/sbin/getty console cons
bolpa2 11:53 /usr/sbin/getty console cons
For real, the server console is running in graphics mode with CDE, and
no user is using the console getty. What can be the cause of such a
situation? I' found previous messages in the list mentioning utmp/wtmp
corruption, but I wonder whether this is the case here, and if so, what
could have caused it, and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance / will summarize.
