maybe the /var/run/utmp file gets borked? the 'last' command has similar fuxnorication now and then as the /var/log/wtmp gets corrupt. just a guess. -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #7 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Wondering what COMMANDS you have at your disposal? Try pressing the TAB key at the command line. For example, "apt<TAB>" will show you all the commands that start with "apt". (This is called "completion" if you want to look it up in your shell's manpage.) (Different implementions have the <TAB> completion set up differently -- you may need to press <TAB> twice.)
