We currently have some terminal servers running BSDI. When I login to
the servers to do a 'w' command it will tell me what users along with
port name and time activity. However, on one of the servers it also
tells me what ppp # was assigned to each user. For example, the one
server has 64 dynamic IP's assigned to it along with the corresponding
ppp#. When I do a 'w' command on this machines it shows me everyone's
ppp# which is great for trouble shooting. However on all my other
terminal servers it will not show this when I do the 'w' command. I
have compared patchlogs and have yet to find out how to configure all
the terminal servers to show the assigned ppp#'s for each user when
doing a 'w' command......Can anyone share some light on this....it is
driving me crazy...thank you
