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and KDE 3.0.3 (I know, sounds 'bit outdated, but this system is fantastic reliable and 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.
