Did you ever run the find command as Bill had suggested? I'm curious
if you have another program called who that is in the users pathway
before it hits the system who command that root runs.

example:
[geo...@alpha LOGIN]$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/uv:/usr/uv/bin
[geo...@alpha LOGIN]$ su -
[r...@alpha root]# echo $PATH
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X
11R6/bin:/usr/uv:/usr/uv/bin:/root/bin

If there was a who command in /usr/local/bin, non root users would wind up 
running it
whereas root users would run the normal who in /usr/bin

Another longshot....
