users logged in

[tk]

There are two of the same users logged in using my name (I'm the only one who uses computer), how can I log one of them out so only the one I am using is active?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Are you saying you telneted/sshed into a machine twice and see your username twice when doing a "who"? If so you can type "tty" on the command line and it will show what the terminal name is that your ID is associated with for that particular login. You can also grep for that tty in the ps list and see what processes were started in that login session. e.g.

$ tty
/dev/pts/1
$ ps auxww | grep pts/1

I should have been more clear, gnome had an error and when I ctrl+alt+backspaced there were two users logged in with my username.

[Void Main]

What is the output of the "who" command? Do you have two entries with ":0" as the tty?

Output from who is:

tk :0 May 9 16:38
tk pts/0 May 10 20:40 (:0.0)

[Void Main]

Ok, that looks normal to me. Where exactly do you see a problem?

Here's what I get:

Code: Select all

$ who
voidmain     :0           May 10 18:10
voidmain     pts/1        May 10 19:00 (:0.0)


The ":0" entry is my X login and the "pts/1" is my terminal that I have open (gnome-terminal) running a bash as a login shell. This is normal behavior.

Oh, alright
