Hi,

Just noticed that on a Linux system (RedHat 5.2 & 6.0) when one
does a "finger user" or a "w user" and the said user has been
idle for less than an hour, the idle time is reported in
minutes & seconds.

..however, on a FreeBSD 3.2 system, the same commands run in the
same scenario don't display seconds. In other words, the idle
time reported by Linux was much more accurate and informative
than its counterpart in FreeBSD.

Anyone know the reason why ?
