Jill,

        If a machine reports 0 users, and you know there are something
like 20 logged on, the problem isn't that serious, it's just that they
(terminal emulator, or terminal itself) can't write to utmp, or wtmp (damn
caffeine-deprived mind.) When my machines do this, i usually chmod 4755
the binary (not the best solution, granted), but if those 20 users are
telnet'ing or ssh'ing in, i'm fairly stuffed in which program can't write
to u/wtmp.

                                                Steve
