This man page states erroneously in the last section, titled "History", that "A who utility appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX". The text should read: "A who utility appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX". The who command was among the first 60 UNIX commands, presented in the first edition of "UNIX Programmer's Manual" (Bell Labs, Murray Hill, New Jersey, November 3, 1971), as documented by Peter H. Salus: A Quarter Century of UNIX. Reading, Massachusetts: Addison-Wesley, 1995, page 41f. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: N/A >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
