Problem Decription -------------------------------------- rwho supposed to return the users "who is logged in on local machines for all machines on the local network" same as who and finger Then to the Fedora19 lpar, one user ssh session is created from local network and 2 ssh sessions are created from remote network. The rwho output is not reflected immediately unlike 'who' and 'finger'. who/finger command returns like this [root@localhost /]# who root hvc0 2013-05-23 05:49 root pts/0 2013-05-23 06:07 (machine from remote network) root pts/1 2013-05-23 06:46 (machine from local network root pts/2 2013-05-23 06:48 (machine from remote network) [root@localhost /]# finger Login Name Tty Idle Login Time Office Office Phone Host root root hvc0 1:16 May 23 05:49 root root pts/0 May 23 06:07 (machine from remote network) root root pts/1 36 May 23 06:46 (machine from localnetwork) root root pts/2 32 May 23 06:48 (machine from remote network) == Comment: #2 - Sanjeev Patro <sanpatr1.com> - 2013-05-24 03:15:01 == kernel version # uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.9.2-301.fc19.ppc64p7 #1 SMP Mon May 13 09:20:53 MST 2013 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux version of rwho rwho-0.17-50.fc19.ppc64 == Comment: #4 - Sanjeev Patro <sanpatr1.com> - 2013-05-24 10:40:13 == (In reply to comment #3) > service rwhod status > Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status rwhod.service > rwhod.service - Remote Machine Logged In User Lister > Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rwhod.service; disabled) > ---------> Shows disabled. > Active: inactive (dead) ----> service is inactive. > > > Can you please check if the rwho is disabled ?

But in this case who and finger act immediately. It should act instantly as other login sessions opened, like below [root@localhost ~]# rwho root localhost:pts/0 May 24 06:19 root1 localhost:pts/2 May 24 06:33 root2 localhost:pts/3 May 24 06:33 This problem holds same for logout condition also. == Comment: #9 - Vaishnavi Bhat <vaish123.com> - 2013-06-03 06:23:29 == As per the discussion on ST, The issue is seen on F19 Beta as well.
------- Comment From vaish123.com 2013-10-22 09:06 EDT------- This behaviour is still reproducible in Fedora20 Alpha. [root@juno-ioxc1-lp3 ~]# uname -a Linux juno-ioxc1-lp3.austin.ibm.com 3.11.4-301.fc20.ppc64p7 #1 SMP Thu Oct 10 11:24:10 MST 2013 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux [root@juno-ioxc1-lp3 ~]# rwho [root@juno-ioxc1-lp3 ~]#
