This is what I get when I'm executing `w' from console (and I'm the only one logged in): 5:16PM up 5 days, 21:30, 1 user, load averages: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT erakupa v0 - 5:14PM - w So far so good. However, when executing `w' in a xterm I get this weird result (the last two lines): 5:14PM up 5 days, 21:28, 3 users, load averages: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT erakupa v0 - 5:14PM - xinit /home/erakupa/.xinitrc -- 0 upa 01Jan70 15:14 - a×ð2ttyp 1 01Jan70 15:14 - And here output from `uname -a': FreeBSD sl3 2.2-961014-SNAP FreeBSD 2.2-961014-SNAP #0: Tue Dec 10 19:17:42 MET 1996 etxgnon@sl3.xnet.se:/usr/src/sys/compile/sl3 i386 Any ideas how to fix this?
