James,
I appreciate your prompt reply. I am
pasting the cut section from "info coreutils who"
-----
If given two non-option arguments, `who' prints only the entry for
the user running it (determined from its standard input), preceded by
the hostname. Traditionally, the two arguments given are `am i', as in
`who am i'.
-----
Although I have been using this command for a long time,
I never gave a thought to try something like today, which happened by a
typo. As per this document, "am I" is considered as arguments (most
common one). So isnt it required to validate them? "Who abcd abcd" has
no meaning when the purpose was "who am I", and both throw same output.
Thanks,
Subash
Please reply me if you have anything to id cc'ed.

I assume you are surprised by the result for "who abcd abcd", but I
think that just means you didn't read the documentation yet. If
you are trying to report a bug could you explain what you think is
wrong?
