3 users

I came back to my computer last night after the last football game and went into Console and typed (Uptime). When I got the results it says (11:05am up 16:07, 3 users, load average: 1.15, 1.24, 0.68). Now the whole 3 users thing is bothering me. Anyone have any suggestions??

when applications run, you log into X etc... you will become another user. nothing to worry about. they're probably all you. or one is root and the rest are you.

run #who or #w to see which user is logged in and into what console.
If every user is logged into some tty* then you need not panic.It may be the multiple console sessions by yourself.

If it shows that it's a remote connection then just kill their sessions and change the password of those usernames.
