A/UX 2.0: What "who" Returns

When I do a who, it always says I am on console and on /dev/ttyp0.


When you are using term (or Command Shell in 2.0), the multi-window terminal
emulator, whoever launched term (or Command Shell in 2.0) is logged in on the
console.  The login windows generated by term  (or Command Shell in 2.0) each
have their own ptty (pseudo tty) port.  That is why the who command shows two
active login sessions even though only one person is actually using the system.
