Within AIX when I do a simple &quot;who&quot; command, the system replies back with the users that are logged on plus others that are definately not logged in. I have done a ps -ef| grep &quot;USER&quot; and the result is always nothing. In addition, looking at netstat, the users are not connected either. <br />

Any ideas on why this occurs and how I go about correcting it?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X.
