who seems to loose interest in the fact that tty1 is also being used.

initially i's shown after a restart but after a while it is missed.
maybe a kernel problem, maybe not :

grobbebol:~ $ w
  8:42am  up 4 days,  4:42,  6 users,  load average: 0.34, 0.18, 0.06
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT

roel     tty8     -                Sun10pm 23:39m  4.33s  4.17s  mutt

grobbebol:~ $ who

bengel   tty3     Jul 15 22:46
bengel   tty4     Jul 15 04:13

roel     tty8     Jul 15 22:31

I have seen this with many, if not all 2.4 kernels. this is 2.4.6.
tty1 _is_ active :

[....]
root      3857  0.0  0.4  2812 1120 tty1     R    08:46   0:00 ps aux

so.. kernel problem or sh-utils ?
