Yes a terminal is remote, and console is the actual system monitor/console.

Do a "ps -aef |grep console" If your console is logged on the box, it will show up. Like the following.

root 23832 1 0 Apr 20 console 0:00 /usr/sbin/getty console console

Now do a "ps -aef |grep tty". This will show all users logged on remotely. " who -a" will show their address.


Do a man on tty and console. I think it will help you greatly.
