Hello all.
Look at this tranbge thing:

knuth [11:15am]{rj45}[~]> ssh rj45@mariah
rj45@mariah's password:

Welcome to NetBSD!

mariah [11:14am]{rj45}[~]> whoami
rj45
mariah [11:15am]{rj45}[~]> w
11:15AM  up 20:08, 1 user, load averages: 0.15, 0.14, 0.09
USER TTY FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
root  p0 knuth             11:14AM     0 w 


I am not root but user rj45

rj45:i19U9nAN7BNRw:1004:20::0:0::/home/rj45:/usr/pkg/bin/tcsh

but the w program duisplays me as root.

how come ??
thanks
