I think that everyone would agree that the entire objective needs to be reworked. We did add the start of systemd to the objective and, I expect that by the time we revisit LPIC-1 objectives, things will have settled down a little. but...there are quite a few systems that I access which could have others logged in. Checking for them and warning them somehow is a nice thing to do. what other messaging system would you suggest? I'm guessing not write(1) or talk(1). Regards, -- G.
