"w" command not working properly
Hey all,
I have a user logged into my machine, I know this because ps -ax shows his sshd session (2 times) and he is telling me that he is at the very moment logged in. When I run any, "w", "users" "who" they all do not show that this user is logged in. Are there any reason why this may be happening????
THanks so much.
josh

Ah, can't help you there. I thought, from your title, that you were making a political statement.
Have you searched the "security" forum here?

Are you running it as root? Maybe it will not output 'privileged' info to non-root users
