Hello,

On a FreeBSD-4.8 box: Why do finger/rusers tell me that user "miller" is 
logged in, although "miller" is NOT logged in?:

===================================================
linuxbox$ rusers -l bsdbox
miller                 bsdbox:ttyp1           Feb  9 08:31  4:00:14 (:0.0)
miller                 bsdbox:ttyp2           Feb  9 08:31  1 days, 2:17:09 
(:0.0)
linuxbox$
linuxbox$ ssh sysop at bsdbox

bsdbox% finger
miller           Toni Miller          p1     4d  Mon    08:31
miller           Toni Miller          p2     4d  Mon    08:31
sysop            System Operator      p0         Fri    11:32
bsdbox%
bsdbox% ps auxww | grep -i miller
bsdbox%
bsdbox% last | grep -i "still logged in"
sysop            ttyp0    linuxbox           Fri Feb 13 11:32   still logged 
in
================================================

Kind regards and thanks in advance: Birgit
