Re: gnome-terminal 'w' output



Yes, I see that option, however even after marking it, I still only
receive the output of

USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
root     :0       -                 4:55am   ?     0.00s   ?     -

from the 'w' command. I am using gnome-terminal 2.0.1 as installed through
RH8.

Thank you.
