(1) rwho + rwhod -- probably installed on your machines already.
Only checks machines on a single LAN. Sucks when you have lotsa
machines too.
(2) GNU finger (ftp.uu.net:/systems/gnu/finger-1.37.tar.gz) gives you
more flexible options for defining groups of machines to be polled
when you finger any one of them. Hasn't been updated in eons
and is a bit of a pain to compile, IMO.
You should fix your newsreader to append a proper email address.
