Does this happen for you with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, say, or Fedora Core 1? 7.2 is quite an old release and many bugs have been fixed since then. It happens on RH Linux 7.2 and 7.3 but not in 9.0. I know it's a previous version but I'd like to solve the problem without upgrading. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: I log in from tty1,tty2,tty3 and a remote telnet terminal and I exec 'WHO' or 'W' command: it displays: tty1 .... tty2 .... tty3 .... pts/0 .... Then I log in from another remote telnet terminal and I re-exec 'WHO' or 'W' command: it displays: pts/1 .... tty2 .... tty3 .... pts/0 .... tty1 is still logged in but who command doesn't show it! Moreover pts/1 has taken its place! When I log out pts/1, tty1 will no more be shown again! I suppose bug depends on 'login' and '/var/run/utmp' file.
