Quirk.

I do most of my work from a workstation running an Xserver.  I open an 
xterm, log on to the other hosts in my net, and have them open a new 
xterm back to my server.

Here's the problem:

$ w
12:15PM  up  4:34, 0 users, load averages: 1.07, 1.08, 1.08
USER    TTY FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
$ finger
No one logged on.

Again, this happens when the "logon" is an Xterm sent back from the client
machine.  In a sense, I'm *not* logged on (per se.), yet I am. 

With me on that?

Comments?
