See if "w" and "w -n" are significantly different in terms of speed. Another factor could be that "w" looks at /var/run/utmp, which is modified every time a user logs in or out. utmp gets cleared only at bootup. So if you haven't rebooted in a while (and therefore, utmp is rather large), "w" could be slow. -- --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
