Some programs may tweak wtmp to `hide' users that are actively logged
in.  One program that I know can do this is screen(1).  Hitting ``^A L''
here, between successive `w' invocations, I can see this:

root@flame:/root# w
 2:04AM  up  2:10, 1 user, load averages: 0.07, 0.16, 0.19
USER             TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
root@flame:/root# w
 2:05AM  up  2:11, 2 users, load averages: 0.03, 0.14, 0.17
USER             TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
root             pts/0    :0:S.0            2:05AM     - w
root@flame:/root#
