Hi Listmembers!
Recently I found something odd (I think...).
First: My machine is a single-user desktop, no network attached except a modem-dialup
to the internet. Nobody else is using this machine. Distro is SuSE 8.1, Kernel 2.4.19,
and KDE 3.0.3 (I know, sounds 'bit outdated, but this system is fantastic reliable and
stable).
When I issue the finger command I get the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> finger
Login Name Tty Idle Login Time Where
matthias Matthias Eifert :0 254d Fri 17:46console
matthias Matthias Eifert pts/0 18 Fri 17:46
matthias Matthias Eifert *pts/1 - Fri 17:47
similar thing with who:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> who
matthias :0 May 21 17:46 (console)
matthias pts/0 May 21 17:46
matthias pts/1 May 21 17:47
If I don't misinterpret the concept of 'finger' there _should_ be only one user
matthias indicatet, right?
And what about the idle-time of 254 days? (I'm confused).
So my simple question is if this is normal behaviour or not?
Is my machine bewitched? Should I head for the local voodoo-master? ;-)
Thanks for your patience,
Matthias
Oh, P.S.
All applications are running fine, I experience no problems with the matter mentioned
above. I'm asking just for reasons of curiosity. Thanks.
