On bookworm who (GNU coreutils 9.1) operates more or less as I have expected it to operate for several decades: it prints current logins. E.g.:
charles@hawk:~$ who charles tty7 2025-03-30 11:31 (:0) charles pts/35 2025-03-27 20:13 (192.168.100.47) root pts/36 2025-03-27 21:48 (192.168.100.47) charles@hawk:~$ On trixie who (GNU coreutils 9.5) gives me a long list of logins, most of which predate the most recent reboot. "who -u", similarly. How do I get only the current logins? Also, who on bookworm works fine with no arguments. who on bookworm requires the file to use in order to get any useful output at all, e.g.: "who -Hu /var/log/wtmp". This might be a bug. Finally, I see that bug #798910, "coreutils: /usr/bin/who --lookup does not look up ip addresses in dns", is still outstanding and a bit annoying. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=798910 Thank you. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
