Why not peruse the sources of the who utility and see how it finds
the data you want?
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/shell_cmds-116/who/
yes, I have done checking both of the leopard and tiger's darwin
sources, before I ask to the mailinglists.
The main difference between tiger and leopard's who source is the use
of utmp and utmpx. utmp has been deprecated on leopard. leopard uses
utmpx to retrieve currently logging in users. utmp uses at tiger is
buggy?
as a test you may create a user with username more than 8 characters.
Login by using FUS to the user, and check the output of the who from
the terminal, and compare the result from tiger and leopard.
this is what I got from Tiger's who:
---
alz console Mar 14 09:59
develope ttyp1 Mar 14 13:20 <- Tiger cuts out the
9th character
alz ttyp2 Mar 14 10:00
and this is from Leopard:
---
alz console 3 14 10:48
alz ttys000 3 14 11:26
developer console 3 14 13:24 <- Leopard give me the
correct data

Yes, I did use utmp as the darwin did at who command, referenced
from shell_cmds-811 from darwin source.
but, as I said at my mail before, It didn't give me the full name
of the user that has username more than 8 characters.
Is there any way to solve this?
