After tackling the quest of converting to glibc from libc5, much hair-pulling & frustration, I finally thought I had a stable working combination of egcs and glibc only to find that 'who', 'w', and others do not work correctly. 'who' and other programs that are looking for users, like 'talk', cannot see all the logged in users. Strangely enough, when an xterm is spawned it's user can be seen with w/who/talk. I remember seeing messages in a list archive addressing this issue but cannot find them again. Any ideas would be much appreciated, and apologies if this is misdirected. -Chad P.S. Is there a search-able archive for the egcs@egcs list?
