    hacker detected ??

    Well i'm really noob as you may notice, but i'm really paranoid, because i was trying some commands on the terminal and when i tried

    Code:
    $ who
    it says that there where actually 2 users connected, and the 2 of them is me, so i got all paranoid and didn't understand what was going on.

    this is what i actually got when i used who :

    Code:
    Me     tty7         2008-05-13 21:42 (:0)
    Me     pts/0        2008-05-13 22:34 (:0.0)
    science i don't really get what is this all about, i was wishing that some one may help me, and tell me, is there some one else connected to my computer, or is just something else...

    PD: please don't hit me to hard if this is the worst noob post you ever read

    You can read man who page on cmd line for further detailed info.

    But the first tty7 is the Graphical terminal to which u r have logged in.

    Don't worry. I just typed in
    Code:
    who
    and I got the same thing.

    lol, ok ty, i was all paranoid becouse for mi it does not make any sence to have 2 times the same user logged on , i thought maybe it was an error from the system, or that some one was using my account to log in as me, ok so it is nothing to worry about, but still being to much strange to have the same user logged 2 times =P

    Your user will be listed with each log in, ie each terminal (try launching a new terminal) or if you log in via ssh ... or consul ...
    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    I can see you getting paranoid over the command:
    PHP Code:
    who -tail -# <-- This command lists the number of users logged into your system 
    But it is all nothing that you should worry about.
    [EDIT]
    This command uses text manipulation, but is even more hysterical! (don't worry, it is lying to you!)
    PHP Code:
     who -tail -sed 's/users/no of spies logged into your system as root/' 


    But, back on track...
    There are multiple levels of "logging in" in Linux.

    type in:
    Code:
    who -a
    And you'll see sort of what I mean.
