w/who command returned zero users
Hi ppl,

We are using Sun OS and recently, encountered this strange problem.

When issuing the "w" or "who" command, the system produce no listing. See screen shot below.

-----------------------
$ w
2:56pm up 2 day(s), 21:10, 0 users, load average: 1.03, 0.75, 0.69
User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what
$

---------------------------

There are users logging into the system but the "w" command shows that there are 0 users.

How could be problem here ? Please advice.

Thanks
