Installed: 1:3.2.7-9ubuntu1
** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

I think that title says it all. There are claims that there are two
users logged in but only one user is listed.

ps au also confirms that the only programs running are owned by me
(jhubbard) or root. My other computers ignore the root user when
listing the number of users in 'w' or 'uptime'.
All this shows is the problem. I have no idea what would explain why it
came about. Let me know what other information is needed.

+ :: Test Case ::
+ - open a terminal and run w . See number of users in the header and line
count are identical
+ - switch to a tty (ctrl+alt+F1) and login. run w . See number of users in the
header and line count are identical
+ - logout from this tty and switch back to X (ALT+F7). See number of users in
the header is greater than the line count in the detail.
** Summary changed:
- 'w' lists two users only shows one
+ 'w' counts users logged out from a tty
