Unhappy Logging out all logins. No one seems to be able to answer this


Hi all, I'm having the following problem and wondered if anyone here could help?

I'm using a network at work which is running RH9 on all machines (I only have user access), when I log in to one of the machines in the computer cluster RH informs me I am already logged in elsewhere and mozilla tells me that my profiles are already in use.

I thought I may be logged into another machine but I don't know how to check other than going around all the machines in the cluster!?

Also I use remote login and sometimes my connection is dropped, leaving me logged into a machine remotely because I didn't logout for obvious reasons.

Is there any way to find all my active logins then kill them? The who command obviously only brings up the login on the current machine and not any logins on all the network.

Any help would be most appreciated

Regards

Hi brady

I don't have much of a network myself to try this on. But I would point you in the direction of rhwo.

man rwho
man rwhod

Please, let us know if/how this works.

Edit: OK, so I _do_ have a small home network . I tried lowering the internal firewalls and started rwhod on the machines. Now 'rwho -a' tells me that I'm logged in to all the machines. By the way, don't, I repeat don't, activate this service on a public network.

Good luck!
Martin
