Why do you feel it is not accurate?

What do you think is wrong?

What have you tried?

What is the environment? What OS?

Are the logins from remote machines? From terminals? Consoles? X logins?

the command lists the count of all users logged in. i want to list the no. of times a user has logged in from different terminals. So i know this isnt correct. the terminals r remote machines. im using mandriva 2007.
