Hmm, I wonder how reliable this is, i.e., if it uses the same source  
as the unix "w" command -- the system seems to show the last console  
user as still being logged in, even if he logged out hours ago:

19:20  up 85 days,  7:29, 53 users, load averages: 1.79 1.97 1.72
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
roland   console  -                10:45    8:34 -
roland   p0       -                19:19       - w
semat    p2       -                10:46    7:52 -tcsh
...etc.

I'm not logged in at the console (no one is), but the system says I am.
