Java 3 users in my psuedo terminal
[root@ns1 root]# uptime
01:55:24 up 22 days, 2:50, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00

i have this when i do uptime. but there isnt anibody inside it. all are root ( that is me ) when i go to /dev/pts/ i can only see 0. so how do i clear this counter of 3 users to a real logical one?

Run 'who -u'. This command will show the list of users logged in to the server and the IP addresses / DNS names that they are using. This way you can find who exactly is logged into your server and where from.

You still haven't given the output of 'who -u'. Anyway, do this:
1. Login from console
2. Stop sshd
3. Check for any processes that sshd may have forked and if you find any, kill them
4. Start sshd
5. Check if the uptime/who commands show any users logged in from non console terminals - you should not get any
