Do this. "man last" should point to file "wtmp" somewhere on your HDD. Locate wtmp and remove it - as root. After that, it should go away.. Did your machine crash/booted sometime?

It's a well-known problem (with no known solution), that some programs tend to trash the utmp/wtmp files (where logged-in users are registered). It happens typically if the machine crashes or is not cleanly shutdown. You should generally take a great care not to shut down the machine by doing cold-reset, which will otherwise ultimately crash your file systems. If possible, when shutting the machine down, you should first log out all users, then use the command 'shutdown' (or equivalent) as root. Best regards -- Ch

My Printer is an epson action lazer 1500. I have it working as HPIII though the standard emulation is for HPIII Si in which it works in windows and winblows. I googled for the HPIII Si but did not find anything. How do I modify the printer database?

This issue went around the lists a couple years ago. I believe the answer is that a "user" is assigned to each desktop or perhaps each console that is opened? -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing"

pts/0 -> pts/N are usually emulated terminals opened by users who have telnet'ed or [nc]ftp'd to your machine. So are you sure about that? I would have checked that..
