rusers(1)

NAME

     rusers --- who is logged in to machines on local network

SYNOPSIS

     rusers [-al] [host ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The rusers command produces output similar to who, but for the list of
     hosts or all machines on the local network. For each host responding to
     the rusers query, the hostname with the names of the users currently
     logged on is printed on each line. The rusers command will wait for one
     minute to catch late responders.

     The following options are available:

     -a      Print all machines responding even if no one is currently logged
         in.

     -l      Print a long format listing. This includes the user name, host
         name, tty that the user is logged in to, the date and time the
         user logged in, the amount of time since the user typed on the
         keyboard, and the remote host they logged in from (if
         applicable).

DIAGNOSTICS

     rusers: RPC: Program not registered
         The rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has not been started on the remote
         host.

     rusers: RPC: Timed out
         A communication error occurred.  Either the network is
         excessively congested, or the rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has
         terminated on the remote host.

     rusers: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
         The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8) ),
         and cannot accomodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
         down.
