 |
|
I have a strange question. I have my trusty gentoo box running and brought up gkrellm because I was bored. I noticed it showed 4 users. I'm the only one logged in though. There are 3 user accounts on this box, I guess root would make it 4, but only one user should be logged in.
I ran top: it list 4 users showing pid's for root and mcrae (user).
How would you go about investigating this?
Thanks in advance,
McRae

| The who command shows all sessions for users currently logged in. The number of logged in users is shown by gkrellm. Most likely you have got a setup where each shell is a login shell, which creates one user session each. |

Gami,
Thank you for the help. When I get home to the computer I'll run who but the shell configuration sounds like the problem. I run yakuake so I bet I'm getting multiple logins as you point out.
Thanks Again!,
