I am confusing users with open terminal sessions -- I'm the only user on this home desktop system. When I ran who after init 1 I get this response; charshaw pts/4 Jul 26 17:59 (:0.0) charshaw pts/11 Jul 26 21:52 (:0.0) charshaw pts/12 Jul 26 21:53 (:0.0) charshaw pts/16 Jul 27 10:09 (:0.0) when I exit init 1 and log back in, w provides me with this information: 10:11:48 up 21:47, 6 users, load average: 2.10, 0.96, 0.43 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT charshaw :0 - 10:11 ?xdm? 21.03s 0.62s /usr/bin/gnome- charshaw pts/17 :0.0 10:11 0.00s 0.04s 0.00s w are those pts/XX "users" terminal sessions that I "X"'d out of rather than typing "exit"? Is this just a non-issue that I should just get used to seeing? Thanks, Clint -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
