Do all 4 machines have the same serial number?
Is the output from 'uname -X' the same for all of them.
I am beginning to think that the software supplier built one system at their site, then produced 4 machines for sale, and provided you with an emergency boot floppy, and a backup tape that you can restore; meaning that you never received a copy of the operating system, or probably any instructions on how to upgrade the hardware.
Is it possible to pull one of the other machines out of production, and install a blank drive in it as scsi id 1, then boot a standalone product like hdclone and duplicate one of the other systems. If you were to do this are there different data files on each machine?

RWHO(1) BSD General Commands Manual RWHO(1)
NAME
rwho -- who is logged in on local machines
SYNOPSIS
rwho [-a]
DESCRIPTION
The rwho command produces output similar to who, but for all machines on the local network. If no report has been received from a machine
for 11 minutes then rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not report users last known to be logged into that machine.
If a users hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more, then rwho reports this idle time. If a user hasn't typed to the system for an
hour or more, then the user will be omitted from the output of rwho unless the -a flag is given.
FILES
/var/spool/rwho/whod.* information about other machines
SEE ALSO
finger(1), rup(1), ruptime(1), rusers(1), who(1), rwhod(8)
HISTORY
The rwho command appeared in 4.3BSD.
BUGS
This is unwieldy when the number of machines on the local net is large.
