My previous answer was for part (a). For part (b) I'd check on /var/run/utmp. That file records current logins. Perhaps the file is missing or damaged. If it's missing, it should get recreated by a reboot. If it's corrupted, perhaps it should be removed and then you should reboot.
Actually, a bit of quick Googling suggests that the proper way to correct a corrupted utmp is to copy /dev/null onto it (or otherwise effect its truncation) and not to reboot but merely to log out and in again.
Thanks for the addendum, Randall. I've added it to my notes for when I tackle the 'errant who' issue later today. I'm enjoying exploring 10.2 right now! :-) regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
