Earlier today I was toying with krdc trying to figure out how to use it, but didn't have any luck. There's no help and no included docs and I didn't feel like searching the Net for information about it. I was doing something earlier and my hard drive was clicking when I didn't think it should. I had gnome-system-monitor open then, so I checked the Active Processes. Several instances of krbc were popping up and dissappearing. I think I ended them all. Fearing a hack, I typed 'users" at the terminal prompt. This is what it gave me:
[michael@baby michael]$ users michael michael michael
Usually I'm only on there twice: Once for my login to GNOME and once
for running gnome-terminal (at least I think that's what it is). Somewhat disconcerted at seeing myself logged in three times
simultaniously (sp?) I ran finger on my username:
[michael@baby michael]$ finger michael Login: michael Name: Michael Sullivan Directory: /home/michael Shell: /bin/bash On since Tue Aug 17 20:42 (CDT) on :0 (messages off) On since Tue Aug 17 21:24 (CDT) on pts/1 from :0.0 On since Tue Aug 10 13:31 (CDT) on pts/1 from bubbles.espersunited.com Mail last read Tue Aug 17 20:43 2004 (CDT) No Plan.
bubbles.espersunited.com is our laptop that I sometimes use to access my account on baby.espersunited.com when my wife is using baby. I says I've been signed on from there since last Tuesday, but I haven't been, and in fact bubbles isn't even powered on at this moment. How do I get things back to normal? And while we're on the subject, what does it mean by saying "No Plan"? What is a user plan and how do I define one?
Michael:
I've posted several similar queries related to obviously inactive users. Short of a reboot, there wasn't much I could do, though the new libbonobo update has helped somewhat. Try this: log out as michael, log in as root, and then open a terminal and type ps -ef. Note what processes are being run by the michael user, even after logging out.

When you close out a terminal, are you typing "exit" or clicking on the X in the window? This post from me asks if there is an issue in FC2 related to X'ing out of a terminal window:

Did you notice this happening in FC1? I didn't -- I only see it on my FC2 machine.
