From email: Upon further inspection, this isn't something to worry about. It's the new 'getty' for serial ports, which is modem-aware. The instance that shows up in 'w' output is the one watching for logins on the serial console. Creating a login session is new behavior, but it's doing the same thing it's always done. We should probably adjust the Users check to ignore that user (i.e. any user executing 'mgetty'). -=< Dave >=- Original message follows: ------------------------- >> Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2004 12:56:18 -0500 >> From: Nick Hansen <nhansen> >> Subject: Re: [Fwd: Postini NP4 goes berserk] >> Daves, >> >> Neil was asking me about the Users check that is showing 1 logged >> in user on the scout mentioned below.
